Box office
'Khel Khel Mein' faces stiff competition from 'Stree 2,' 'Vedaa'
Khel Khel Mein is facing stiff competition from other releases like Stree 2 and Vedaa. Despite being targeted at a multiclass audience, the film managed to earn ₹5.05 crore on its opening day. However, its collection dropped to ₹1.9 crore on the second day (Friday), according to Sacnilk. The comedy-drama, a remake of Perfect Strangers, is directed by Mudassar Aziz.
Future prospects
Weekend numbers expected to improve due to extended holiday
Despite the drop in collections on the second day, the weekend numbers for Khel Khel Mein are expected to improve. This is because Monday is a holiday due to Raksha Bandhan, providing an extended weekend for moviegoers. This could potentially boost the box office performance of all three films - Khel Khel Mein, Vedaa, and Stree 2. Currently, this is a one-horse race with Stree 2 decimating its opponents.
