Some theatres reportedly halted screenings after a day

Pakistani film Mera Lyari has crashed at the box office, reportedly selling just 22 tickets in some locations and facing screenings being stopped within a day. The poor turnout sharply contrasts with Aditya Dhar’s Indian spy thriller Dhurandhar, which crossed about ₹1300 crore worldwide. Mera Lyari was pitched as an effort to project a positive image of Lyari town.
