Khel Khel Mein’ Box Office: Akshay Kumar’s Comedy Battles ‘Stree 2’, Sees a Boost in Earnings
These days, the domestic box office is buzzing with the success of the horror-comedy Stree 2, which has firmly taken the lead. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar’s latest venture, Khel Khel Mein, is struggling to keep pace.
Despite a promising start, the film’s weekday performance was underwhelming. However, it seems like Akshay Kumar’s charm has managed to draw in audiences over the weekend.
A Comeback to Comedy for Akshay Kumar
After exploring various genres, including action and biopics, Akshay Kumar returns to his comedy roots with Khel Khel Mein.
The film, which hit theatres on August 15, has seen a moderate box office performance.
Although it faced tough competition, especially on weekdays, the weekend provided a much-needed boost.
But the question remains—did the second Sunday bring enough momentum to turn things around for Akshay’s latest offering?
Mudassar Aziz’s Direction and Star-Studded Cast
Directed by Mudassar Aziz, known for his work on Pati Patni Aur Woh, Khel Khel Mein features a stellar ensemble cast.
The comedy, centered around a game that unearths hidden truths about husbands, showcases Akshay Kumar’s impeccable comic timing.
Despite receiving praise for his performance, the film’s earnings didn’t initially reflect the same enthusiasm. However, Sunday’s box office numbers indicate a positive trend.
Box Office Numbers: A Ray of Hope
Eleven days have passed since Khel Khel Mein was released, and the film has crossed the ₹20 crore mark.
According to early trade reports from Sacnilk, the Mudassar Aziz-directed film earned ₹1.75 crores on its second Sunday, slightly more than the ₹1.35 crores it garnered on Saturday.
These figures, though preliminary, suggest that the movie is gradually gaining traction.
All Eyes on the Coming Days
As Khel Khel Mein continues its theatrical run, the coming days will determine whether this comedy can hold its ground against the formidable Stree 2.
For now, Akshay Kumar’s return to comedy has sparked interest, but only time will tell if it can turn into a box office success.
