The popular sitcom ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!’, starring Asif Sheikh, has enjoyed long-running success on television. However, its big-screen adaptation ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain: Fun On The Run’, released on February 6, 2026, concluded its theatrical run with limited audience turnout. Despite the familiarity of its characters from Modern Colony, the film did not generate comparable interest in cinemas.According to sacnilk.com, the film was mounted on an estimated budget of Rs 10 crore but collected around Rs 1.37 crore net during its run. This translates to roughly 13.7% recovery, or about 14% of the reported production cost. When promotional and distribution expenses are considered, the overall financial shortfall becomes significantly larger.
Challenges of adapting television to film
Industry observers have noted that adapting a short-format sitcom into a full-length feature presents structural challenges. The source material, originally designed as a roughly 20-minute episodic format, was expanded into a 135-minute narrative. Reviews indicated that the screenplay resembled a sequence of loosely connected segments rather than a unified cinematic story, which may have affected audience engagement.
Online popularity did not convert to ticket sales
The outcome highlights that television popularity or digital viewership does not automatically translate into theatrical footfall. While the franchise remains widely recognised on the small screen, the film version struggled to attract a comparable paying audience in cinemas.
