After the disappointing performance of “Maidaan,” Ajay Devgn was expected to make a strong comeback in the box office game. However, his latest release, “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha,” has shocked everyone with its underwhelming numbers, especially on its first Monday. The film is currently struggling to hit double digits during its opening week. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons behind the film’s poor performance and what it means for Ajay Devgn’s career.
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Box Office
The film had a poor response to advance booking, prompting the makers to announce ticket offers to attract more viewers. Despite these efforts, “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” had a disastrous start, earning an estimated 1.70 crores on its opening day. The situation did not improve significantly over the weekend, with the film earning approximately 1.90 crores on Saturday and 2.20 crores on Sunday. This brought the total collection to a dismal 5.85 crores at the Indian box office after its opening weekend. The film’s performance was far below expectations, especially given the star power of Ajay Devgn and the anticipation surrounding the film.
Poor Performance Continues
The bare minimum expectation for “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” on its first Monday was to maintain a score of at least 1 crore. However, the film crashed, earning only between 0.85 and 0.95 crores. Including these estimates, the film’s total collection stood at 6.60-6.75 crores after four days. From this point, it became evident that the film would struggle to reach even the 10 crore mark during its opening week. This underwhelming performance has been a significant blow to Ajay Devgn, who was looking to bounce back from the failure of “Maidaan.”
Unfulfilled Expectations and Promotional Missteps
The poor performance of “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” can be attributed to several factors. Despite the goodwill Neeraj Pandey earned from his previous successes like “A Wednesday” and “Baby,” the collaboration with Ajay Devgn failed to live up to expectations. The trailer turned out to be a major turn-off for many fans, and the unappealing music album further dampened enthusiasm for the film. Additionally, the promotional efforts were insufficient to generate the necessary buzz before the release. These missteps contributed to the film’s lackluster performance at the box office.
