Progress Report On Akshay Kumar’s Film

The box office numbers for Khel Khel Mein‘s second day are in. On day 2, the comedy-drama minted ₹ 2.05 crore, according to a Sacnilk report.  So far, the Mudassar Aziz directorial has collected ₹ 7.1 crore in the domestic market. The star-studded project features Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal, Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor and Pragya Jaiswal in key roles. The film narrates the story of a group of friends who gather for dinner and end up revealing secrets about each other. Khel Khel Mein is a remake of the 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh also posted a note on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the performance of Khel Khel Mein. He wrote, “After a lackluster start on the national holiday [#IndependenceDay], #KhelKhelMein continued its downward trajectory on Day 2, a regular working day… Considering its poor start, the film should’ve atleast matched its Day 1 numbers but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.”

He said, “#KhelKhelMein is aimed at a metro-centric audience, yet even in major urban centres – its primary target – the film hasn’t been embraced wholeheartedly, as reflected in the data. All eyes are now on Sat – Sun – Mon [#RakshaBandhan partial holiday] biz. [Week 1] Thu 5.23 cr, Sat 2.42 cr. Total: ₹ 7.65 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice”
