Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey. Featuring a star-studded cast including Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Saiee Manjrekar, Shantanu Maheshwari, and Jimmy Shergill, is nearing the end of its theatrical run. The film, which had high expectations due to its talented cast and acclaimed director, is set to exit theaters across India in just 13 days.
Despite efforts to boost ticket sales through incentives, the film’s lifetime collections are expected to be around Rs 9 crore net (approximately Rs 10.80 crore gross). This performance is particularly disappointing given the film’s high-profile credentials and the substantial investment in its production.
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Box Office Impact
On the international front, the film has fared poorly as well, with worldwide collections totaling just around Rs 14 crore gross. The film has managed to earn only approximately $400,000 (Rs 3.35 crore) abroad. After accounting for the incentives and treatment, the producer’s share is expected to be around Rs 5 crore.
This figure is significantly less than the film’s print and advertising expenses, highlighting the financial strain of the release. The poor performance at the box office has not only resulted in significant monetary losses. But has also negatively impacted the credibility of everyone involved with the project.
Major Financial Losses
Although it was budgeted modestly. The involvement of Ajay Devgn and Neeraj Pandey, with their substantial per-film worth, elevated the project’s scale. With an estimated budget of Rs 150 crore—covering remuneration for the lead actors, director, publicity, advertising, and interest on invested funds—the film’s financial outcome is dismal.
The combined theatrical and non-theatrical recoveries are unlikely to cover the budget. Resulted in estimated losses exceeding Rs 60 crore, even under optimistic scenarios. This situation marks the film as a significant loss-making venture for all stakeholders. Meanwhile, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is slated to stream on digital platforms in late September.
