Even though Abhishek Chaubey's Sonchiriya opened to positive reviews, the box office collection of the Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer has paled before that of Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's Luka Chuppi.

The Laxman Utekar-directed romantic comedy earned Rs 18.09 crore over two days, to the dacoit drama's paltry figure of Rs 2.70 crore. In what can be seen as an indicator of Aaryan's rising popularity, Luka Chuppi garnered Rs 8.01 crore on Friday, thus becoming the actor's biggest opener.
