Yesterday India celebrated its 78th Independence Day with a cinematic spectacle. Three highly anticipated films—Stree 2, Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa hit the theatres together. Unfortunately, the opening day box office collection of Khel Khel Mein couldn't show positivity. The comedy-drama failed to create magic on the box office despite having A-listers like Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Fardeen Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Amy Virk in lead roles.
Khel Khel Mein opening day box office collection
In spite of having excellent advance ticket sales, Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein trailed as the less preferred choice among the audience. On its opening day, the comedy drama collected only Rs. 5 crores. With the upcoming long weekend, the film now aims to reach Rs. 20 crores by Monday.
Despite being the Hindi remake of the 2016 Italian film, Perfect Strangers, Khel Khel Mein couldn't do well on its opening day. For the unversed, Perfect Strangers was a critical and commercial success, winning the David di Donatello award in the Best Film Category and grossing more than €16 million in Italy.
Khel Khel Mein budget comparison
The box office performance of Khel Khel Mein is shocking given its high production cost. While Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2 and John Abraham's Vedaa were made on a budget of Rs. 50 crores, Akshay Kumar-starrer’s estimated budget was a staggering Rs. 100 crores, making it the most expensive among the three.
