According to film critic Taran-Adarsh, social-drama did not witness a remarkable jump in the first-weekend. He tweeted, "#BattiGulMeterChalu did grow over the weekend, but the jump in biz wasn't substantial enough... Biz on Day-3 was affected due to the crucial cricket match, but the trending is dull... Weekdays are crucial... Fri 6.76 cr, Sat 7.96 cr, Sun 8.54 cr. Total: Rs.23.26 cr. India biz."

Shahid and Shraddha's Batti Gul Meter Chalu has managed to collect Rs.14.72-crore in two-days, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted. The film failed to get an impressive start at the box-office and earned Rs.6.76-crore on the opening day. On Day-2, Batti Gul Meter Chalu raked in Rs.7.96-crore. According to Box-Office India report, Batti Gul Meter Chalu still has a chance to grow on Day-3.
