Expectations reached the top, but Lovers Day failed to reach minimum expectations as the film’s first-day report declared as a disaster. Wink beauty Priya Prakash Varrier’s magic did not work well, a cine analyst asserted after watching the movie. ‘It killed the belief’ many filmgoers commented after Lovers Day's first show.

On the other hand, Karthi and Rakul Preet Singh starer Dev also failed at box office. Both Dev and Lovers Day cannot even manage good openings, this is hurting more. Big amounts are invested on Dev and Lovers day but wasted, trade pundits expressed their view.

Inside reports stating that, as dubbing rights sold for huge, these films may not recover even 20 to 30 per cent and it will be a big lesson for dubbing producers. In the meantime, Tamil Dev and Malayalam Oru Adaar love (Lovers Day original) also may suffer huge losses, sources predicting.
