Love Aaj Kal collected Rs 8.01 crore on Saturday and Rs 8.10 on Sunday, bringing its weekend total to Rs 27.86 crore.

Despite a lot of buzz around Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan's first-time pairing, as well as the goodwill generated by the first Love Aaj Kal, the film hasn't been able to live up to its hype. The film received mostly poor reviews, Sara's portrayal of Zoe has also been criticised.
