Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khurrana's Meri Pyaari Bindu released alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Yami Gautam's Sarkar 3 on May 12. While both looked interesting, they were dismal and ended up having a very disappointing first weekend. They saw a huge dip in collections on the first Monday but since then they have been quite steady, raking in small amounts of money at the ticket windows throughout the week. And now, looks like Meri Pyaari Bindu and Sarkar 3 are inching towards the Rs 10 crore mark at the box office.

Both, Meri Pyaari Bindu and Sarkar 3, looked fantastic on paper but they did not live up to our expectations. Both the movies got poor reviews from the critics as well as the public. This, combined with the poor storyline and execution, led to the films' downfall. Now, with Shraddha Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor's Half Girlfriend taking over the box office, we expect these films to end their run pretty soon.
