Total: ₹ 12.69 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.” “#ZaraHatkeZaraBachke also debunks the talk that *mid-range* movies should skip the theatrical window, instead opt for direct-to-digital route… Earlier, #MrsChatterjeeVsNorway, #TheKeralaStory and now, #ZaraHatkeZaraBachke have witnessed energetic footfalls at *cinemas*, making the exhibition sector heave a sigh of relief," he added.

Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film revolves around a happily married couple who plans to take divorce in order to buy a house but lands in trouble. Backed by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, the film also has Rakesh Bedi, Himanshu Kohli, Inaamulhaq, Neeraj Sood, Akash Khurana, Sharib Hashmi and Meghna Agarwal in supporting roles. The film was released in theatres on June 2.

DesiMartini gave the film two and half stars and wrote, “As after Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Laxman's film gave a similar social commentary taking a subject of middle-class family agonies and lacing it with comedy. The movie which aimed for a gag-fest turned up lacking a bit here and there. The flick may have never gone so haywire at any point, but it was a huge relief seeing it end. No matter how abrupt it was!”
