Two Lollywood films Wrong No 2 and Chhalawa hit theatres this Eid. According to reports, both of these films have cumulatively managed to earn approximately Rs 200 million during the first five days of their release.
The team behind these films have been overwhelmed by this response as they were not expecting a turnout like this, especially in light of the ban on Indian content when local cinemas are struggling.
Chhalawa Earnings
Azfar Rehman, who is playing the lead role of Sameer in Chhalawa disclosed that the film has earned Rs 11.18 crores so far.

Both Wrong No 2 and Chhalawa’s success has demonstrated that people are hungry for Pakistani films now more than ever. But the question is, will this trend hold for the months ahead, especially with a Bollywood ban in place? Only time will tell.
