The Akshay Kumar starrer Khel Khel Mein, directed by Mudassar Aziz, witnessed a significant drop in its box office collections on its second day. After a promising start on Independence Day, the film’s earnings fell by 55%, bringing in just Rs 2.25 crore. This brings the total collection to Rs 7.40 crore over two days.
Disappointing Performance

The extended five-day weekend is projected to bring in around Rs 16-17 crore, which is considered a poor result for a film of this scale and star power.

Released alongside John Abraham’s Vedaa and the highly anticipated horror-comedy sequel Stree 2, Khel Khel Mein struggled to maintain its momentum. While it did manage to outperform Vedaa on the second day, becoming the second most preferred Hindi movie of the day, this achievement is not particularly significant given the film’s ensemble cast and higher expectations.
