Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khans onscreen chemistry in "Love Aaj Kal" has failed to create sparks at the box office.The Imtiaz Ali39s film managed a mere Rs 28.51-crore haul at the domestic market after the first day of over Rs 12 crore."39Love AajKal39 is rejected... Dips on Day 2, falls flat on Day 3... Advantage ValentinesDay Day 1, else 3-day total would be lower... Tough road ahead weekdays... Friday Rs 12.40 crore, Saturday Rs 8.01 crore, Sunday Rs 8.10 crore. Total: Rs 28.51 crore. India business," posted trade expert Taran Adarsh.Trade Analyst Komal Nahta also tweeted: "As against 39Love Aaj Kal39 first day of Rs 12 crore, the second day witnesses a drop in collections rather than a jump. Will the second day close at Rs 8 crore or 7 crore or 6.5 crore? Probably Rs 6.5 crore! That would be a big drop!""Love Aaj Kal" is Ali39s remake of his own hit of 2009 of the same name that had starred Sara39s father Saif Ali Khan with Deepika Padukone. The film narrates two parallel love stories -- one set in the past and one in the present -- to trace generation gap through the changing perception of love over the decades.Initial reaction of the Valentine39s Day audience was mixed after the film was mostly panned by critics. The film failed to capitalise on the fact that it was a solo Bollywood release this past weekend.
