The much-anticipated box office clash between Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha. And the Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, and Roshan Mathew-led Ulajh is set to unfold on August 2.
Ulajh Vs Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha
Both films have generated considerable buzz with their trailers, teasers, and songs, although the excitement levels among audiences remain moderate. While Janhvi Kapoor is energetically promoting Ulajh. Ajay Devgn has taken a more subdued approach to the promotions of Ajay Devgn’s starrer. The question on everyone’s mind is which film will come out on top at the box office.
Directed by Neeraj Panday, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha features an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shantanu Maheshwari, Saiee Manjrekar, and Jimmy Sheirgill. The film marks the return of Devgn and Tabu as an on-screen couple after decades, which has piqued the interest of their fans. The movie promises to be a unique musical love story. An epic romantic drama spanning two decades from 2002 to 2023. Despite the intriguing premise and the nostalgia factor, the film’s success will heavily depend on positive word of mouth. If the audience’s reception isn’t favorable, the film might struggle at the box office, much like Devgn’s previous release, Maidaan.
On the other side of the ring is Ulajh, directed by Sudhanshu Saria. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the lead, supported by talented actors Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew. Ulajh tells the story of a young IFS officer from a prominent family who becomes entangled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while posted far from home. The trailer has been well-received, but the film is tailored for metro audiences, being a niche urban thriller.
Box Office Clash
In terms of box office predictions, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is expected to open with collections around 3-4 crore, while Ulajh might see an opening between 1 to 2 crore. Given their different genres, the competition isn’t directly between the films but rather about whether audiences will choose to watch them in theaters or wait for their OTT releases. The outcome will hinge on the films’ ability to resonate with viewers and generate strong word-of-mouth support.
