Akshay Kumar's 'Khel Khel Mein' and John Abraham-Starrer 'Vedaa' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, August 14 - Amid the juggernaut of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's Stree 2, this Independence Day weekend will see Akshay Kumar-fronted Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa will fight it out to come second at the box office. ## Akshay returns to his forte comedy genre in which he has scored many successes but all are not the same this time. The actor is coming after a series of unsuccessful films and to turn the tide, he will have hope for a change in fortune and hope the film turns out to be a really good one. ## As said, the opening of Khel Khel Mein is expected to be low considering the pre-sales which are better than Akshay's last film Sarfira but overall remains low. As of 8 PM on August 14, the movie has sold approximately 29K tickets with approx. 1 crore gross for the opening day.## The final opening day pre-sales of the movie are expected to be in the range of 1.50 crores gross which indicates the opening in the range of 4-5 crores net. The Independence Day holiday will provide some boost but that is unlikely to make much difference to the overall opening. ## Vedaa reunites John Abraham with director Nikkhil Advani since Batla House (2019) which was also released on August 15. While Batla House scored a very good opening of 15+ crores net 5 years ago, things are a lot different this time around. ## The pre-sales of Vedaa are almost similar to Khel Khel Mein though it has sold more tickets (39K as of 8 PM) so far. The movie's opening is expected to be in the same range as Akshay-starrer, however, the action genre might attract more footfalls in mass centres which can boost the collection a little more. ## There is a long holiday period coming up, but Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa will need a unanimously positive reception from the audience to make the most of it, unlike Stree 2 which will open, at least, 3X of the combined total of the other two movies. ## Stay tuned...

Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's 'Stree 2' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, August 14 - The highly-anticipated horror-comedy Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in the leading roles, is all set to explode at the box office this Independence Day weekend, thanks to the extraordinary pre-sales for the weekend.## The movie is a part of producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Supernatural Universe and is the sequel to 2018's film Stree. Apart from the well-received teaser/trailer and songs, being a sequel to the blockbuster movie is proving to be a massive advantage for Stree 2 and the same is being reflected in the advance sales.## The advance booking of Stree 2 for the opening day is already the highest of 2024 in Hindi by a long margin and is looking to score one of the biggest pre-sales for a non-superstar title. As of 2 PM on August 14, the film has sold approximately 450K tickets worth 13 crores gross for the opening day (August 15).## The pace of Stree 2 pre-sales has been excellent since the day it opened and is expected to beat Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki (15.40 crores gross) to score the biggest booking in Hindi since Ranbir Kapoor's Animal in December 2023. The movie is looking to beat Dunki's opening (29 crores net approx.) but considering Stree 2 has more commercial value and huge anticipation, it is expected to score in the mid-3Os.## The film is releasing on Independence Day which will boost walk-ins so there is a good chance of Stree 2 going beyond the 35 crores net mark and an outside chance of touching 40 crores net (optimistic), depending on word of mouth. The movie is clashing with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa, however, Stree 2 is behaving like a frontloaded solo release as the pre-sales are miles ahead of the rest of the two movies.## Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 will easily become the biggest opener for Shraddha Kapoor as well as Rajkummar Rao, director Kaushik and also for Maddock Films. Meanwhile, the movie has paid previews today (August 14) and booking for the same is excellent.## Stay tuned...

Its performance so far indicates a long run at the box office, however, a lot will depend on how much it gets affected by new releases. ## At this point, Laila Majnu is trending better than Ranbir Kapoor-fronted's recently re-released Rockstar and if it manages to stand strong amid the new releases, the movie can surely go past the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer which grossed over 10 crores in India. ## Day-Wise Gross Collection of Laila Majnu (re-release) - Updated -## 1st Day (Friday) - 30 lakh approx.## 2nd Day (Saturday) - 75 lakh approx.## 3rd Day (Sunday) - 1.15 crore approx.## 4th Day (Monday) - 70 lakh approx.## 5th Day (Tuesday) - 85 lakh approx.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Laila Majnu' Re-Release Scores Very Good Opening Weekend

Mumbai, August 12 - Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri's romantic drama Laila Majnu was recently re-released amid the growing trend and to everyone's surprise, the movie has been doing fantastically at the box office unlike its original run back in 2018.## The Ekta Kapoor-produced heartbreaking tale of romance went unnoticed when it was first released in 2018 and grossed just a little over 3 crores at the Indian box office. However, the film's popularity grew over the years and it found appreciation among the audiences, thanks to television and OTT platforms.## In the 3-day opening weekend of its re-release, Laila Majnu grossed approximately 2.15 crores which is higher than the first weekend of its original run. The movie started with approximately 25 lakh net collection before jumping by 200% on Saturday to 75 lakh net. On Sunday, the movie crossed the 1 crore gross mark, to around 1.15 crores. ## This is the first instance in recent times that a Bollywood re-release has touched the 1 crore mark in a single day at the domestic box office. It will be interesting to see how the movie trends during the weekdays, also it is running out of time in its pursuit to top its original run as there are multiple big releases scheduled from August 15. ## The movie, however, can take inspiration from Ranbir Kapoor's recently re-released Rockstar which grossed over 10 crores in India. It will be a big win for Laila Majnu if it manages to outgross its original run as there haven't been many films in the past to have done the same.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 11 - Very few critically acclaimed films get a second life to succeed at the box office after failing on the first occasion.

Sunday is expected to be the biggest so far for the movie as it is eyeing 2 crores gross collection in the opening weekend. ## Considering the trend, Laila Majnu would have easily topped the final gross collection of the film's original run but the time might be running out for it as it won't get much showcasing once the arrival of the hugely-awaited Stree 2 along with Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa on August 15. ## The movie, however, can take inspiration from Ranbir Kapoor's recently re-released Rockstar which grossed over 10 crores in India.

Box Office: 'Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha' and 'Ulajh' Score Disastrous First Week

Mumbai, August 9 - It was a hugely disappointing week for Bollywood with two new releases, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Ulajh bombed at the box office. Both movies were not only unable to attract footfall but were awful from the opening day which led to a disastrous first week. ## The Ajay Devgn-fronted romantic thriller Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha was expected to score a decent collection even though the buzz was not there for that to happen. The opening below 2 crores net mark sealed its fate as it scored disappointing around 10 crores net opening week. ## It is one of the lowest opening weeks for an Ajay Devgn-starrer in the last 2 decades and easily the lowest by far in the last decade. It has been no starter from the beginning and it will finish below the 15 crore mark as one of the major disastrous of the last few years.## Janhvi Kapoor-fronted thriller Ulajh which was released on the same day as AMKDT also met the same fate with a disappointing first week of around 7 crores net collection and the lifetime will likely be the same as AMKDT.## Ulajh, after the poor opening, did show a better trend than the Ajay Devgn-starrer but there wasn't much audience for it to capitalize on that as the overall collection remained low throughout the first week. ## The attention now shifts to the Independence Day weekend which will see the much-anticipated horror-comedy Stree 2 taking on Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abrahm's Vedaa. While the Shraddha Kapoor-starrer is anticipated to open with a bang, Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa will be looking to cash in the opportunity during the Holiday period.## Stay tuned...
