Four days after the release of Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam-starrer
_Batti Gul Meter Chalu_ , the film has acquired Rs 26.42 crores, after raking in a total of Rs 3.16 crores on Monday. The business picked up over the weekend but it was still a slow-starter since Batti Gul Meter Chalu did not face much competition at the box office.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu still has an entire week to compensate for its low start, before fresh films enter the box office race on 28 September. These include Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma’s _Sui Dhaaga_ , Vishal Bharadwaj’s _Pataakha_ and Salman Khan Films’ _LoveYatri,_ which marks the debut of Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain.
