Ajay Devgn바카라™s period sports drama 바카라˜Maidaan바카라™ released for select paid previews on April 10, and followed it up with a full-fledged release on April 11 on the occasion of Eid. However, despite Ajay leading the film and earning rave reviews, the film struggled to find takers on its opening day. It collected Rs 2.6 crore and later merely Rs 4.50 crore, taking the day one collections to Rs 7.10 crore, as per estimates posted by Sacnilk.
Clearly, the low numbers weren바카라™t as impressive for an Ajay Devgn holiday release, and the occupancy throughout the day remained below 16 percent. The opening day collections were almost 50 percent less than that of Ajay바카라™s recent releases. While his supernatural thriller 바카라˜Shaitaan바카라™ collected Rs 14.75 crore, 바카라˜Drishyam 2바카라™ minted Rs 15.38 crore on day one. Even his other actioner 바카라˜Bholaa바카라™, which was released in March last year, witnessed an opening of Rs 11.20 crore.
The Amit R Sharma directorial might revive itself on Saturday and Sunday, but it has to now hit double digits in the next two days to gain momentum at the box office. The film is also battling it out at the box office with the other Eid release, 바카라˜Bade Miyan Chote Miyan바카라™, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff. Ali Abbas Zafar바카라™s film collected Rs 15.50 crore. Both films now have to hold strong at the box office.
While 바카라˜Bade Miyan Chote Miyan바카라™ is reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 350 crore, it is said that the landing cost of 바카라˜Maidaan바카라™바카라“after years of delay바카라“amounts to Rs 250 crore.
