‘Love Guru’ Reigns Supreme with PKR 28 Crore Eid Weekend Collection

In what can only be described as a cinematic sweep, ‘Love Guru’ has taken both hearts and the box office by storm, pulling in a staggering 28 crore over its Eid-ul-Azha debut weekend. Directed by crowd-favorite Nadeem Baig and scripted with flair by Vasay Chaudhry, the film hit cinemas nationwide on June 7, 2025, and quickly ignited a buzz that refuses to simmer down.

A Rom-Com Recipe That Clicked

Starring the ever-charismatic Humayun Saeed alongside the luminous Mahira Khan, Love Guru is anything but your average romantic comedy. At its heart lies the story of a self-proclaimed relationship expert who gets a taste of his own medicine when he unexpectedly falls for Sofia, a confident and independent architect living in London.

Shot between the bustling streets of Karachi and the urban elegance of London, the film delivers a visual and emotional blend that resonates across borders. The sizzling chemistry between the leads—previewed in its widely appreciated teaser and trailer—translates effortlessly on screen, giving audiences a hearty mix of wit, charm, and romantic tension.

Numbers Don’t Lie: Eid Magic or Cinematic Gold?

Love Guru didn’t just open strong—it exploded. With PKR 12.8 crore earned domestically and another PKR 15.4 crore from international circuits, it has outshone even previous blockbusters like The Legend of Maula Jatt, which pulled in PKR 11.8 crore during its opening weekend.

This cross-border appeal speaks to more than just smart marketing; it reflects a storyline and star power that resonate with a diverse global audience. Social media platforms have lit up with fan reactions, many praising Mahira’s performance as “phenomenal” and celebrating the film for breaking the mold of traditional Pakistani rom-coms.

Dividing Critics, Uniting Audiences

While some skeptics argue that Love Guru owes its record-breaking numbers more to the holiday hype than substance, the overall consensus suggests the film is a crowd-pleaser. One viewer called it “top-tier entertainment,” applauding its production quality and performances.

Even with mixed critical reviews, there’s no denying Love Guru has struck a chord with viewers looking for laughter, love, and a little escape this Eid. As box office numbers continue to climb, it looks like this Love Guru has not only given advice but also taken center stage in Pakistan’s cinematic calendar.

Whether you’re in it for the romance, the laughs, or just a feel-good flick, Love Guru is the film everyone’s talking about—and the numbers prove it.
