Khel Khel Mein Box Office Reception Underwhelming

Akshay Kumar's latest film, Khel Khel Mein, has struggled at the box office, earning only Rs 21 crore in its first week, a disappointing figure for a star of his caliber. Released on August 15, it faced tough competition from Stree 2, which has dominated ticket sales, and Vedaa, with Khel Khel Mein performing slightly better than the latter. Despite a strong ensemble cast including Taapsee Pannu and Fardeen Khan, the film's remake status and lack of audience interest have contributed to its poor performance. With only Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency set to release soon, Khel Khel Mein may see a gradual increase in collections, though it is projected to finish between Rs 30 crore to Rs 32 crore net. This film continues a disappointing trend for Kumar, who has faced multiple flops since the pandemic, with only two hits to his name recently. The film is an adaptation of the Italian film Perfect Strangers, and despite receiving mixed reviews, it failed to attract a significant audience.
