Khel Khel Mein, a new comedy-drama movie starring Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Fardeen Khan, and Vaani Kapoor, hit theaters on August 15, 2024. Directed by Muddasir Aziz, this film was eagerly awaited by fans. However, it had a slow start at the box office, earning just ₹5 crore on its first day. This film has a current rating of 8.9 on IMDB, which suggests it’s a good movie to watch with family.
The movie had to compete with two other big films, Stree 2 and Vedaa. Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, did much better and earned ₹54 crore, including earnings from special previews on Wednesday.
Khel Khel Mein was screened in many theaters, especially in big cities like Mumbai and Delhi. In Mumbai, it played in 352 shows, and in Delhi and NCR, it was shown in 421 shows. The film had about 40% of the seats filled on its first day. Many people preferred to watch the movie in the evening and night shows. Also due to housefull in many theaters, people watched other movies. This decision of the public led to delay growth or the slow progress of this movie and thus making the buzz go low for this movie.
Even though the movie didn’t have a great opening day, it still did better than Akshay Kumar’s recent films like Sarfira and Mission Raniganj. These films earned less on their first days compared to Khel Khel Mein.
The movie was produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, and others. The story is about a group of friends who get caught up in a series of funny and exciting events. Despite the big names and interesting story, the movie couldn’t perform as well as expected because of the strong competition from Stree 2.
Khel Khel Mein received mixed reviews. Some critics and viewers liked the movie for its funny moments and performances by the actors. However, others felt it was not as exciting as expected. Many people were more interested in watching Stree 2, which is a horror-comedy and part of a very popular movie series. Today, Day 2 Collection of this film “Khel Khel mein” is eagerly awaited by fans which we will be sharing soon for you.
Even though there is a stiff competition and the show took quite a time to gather an audience, Khel Khel Mein stands a chance of expanding in the coming days. Cast simply cannot ignore the brand name of the leading actors such as Akshay Kumar who attracted audiences where the film premiere was in small cities and towns where he enjoys a massive following.
To the extent that the film is a comedy full of entertaining plots it might do well specially over the weekend for family business and might record an improved return. More so, the word of mouth may have a big impact on the success of the said film as felt in the box office. Although I personally feel that it may take a small dive, in the next few days, if it can gain some pace, it can easily become a moderate hit.
Nevertheless, the further existence of the film majorly depends on its boldness to withstand the coming Stree 2 and Vedaa. The expectations from these films have been positive and hence the contest for Khel Khel Mein is going to be a stiff one.
The coming weekdays will be important especially since weekdays normally see a low turn up for movies. The producers of the film might require increasing promotion or offering bonus to cater for a large audience. Otherwise, Khel Khel Mein might face a short run in theaters, more so with other big films scheduled to be released in the coming weeks.
Khel Khel Mein has a routine start and still has many miles to go for it to become a super hit. Fans are very curious to know if this movie will be a hit or not in the coming days. But don’t worry we’ll keep on updating you with live results so that you can make informed decisions regarding this film.
