Huma Qureshi's 'Baby Do Die Do' Faces Box Office Challenges Amid Release Clash with 'Alpha'
Huma Qureshi's film 'Baby Do Die Do' released alongside Alia Bhatt's 'Alpha' on July 3, marking a rare box office clash between female-led films. While Huma welcomed this as a positive shift for Hindi cinema, 'Baby Do Die Do' has struggled commercially, earning around Rs 36 lakh net on its fifth day against its estimated Rs 22 crore budget. The film's limited audience turnout and competition from 'Alpha' have impacted its box office performance, despite Huma's dual role as lead actor and producer.
