When, where to watch Akshay's 'Khel Khel Mein' on OTT
The Akshay Kumar-Taapsee Pannu starrer comedy-drama Khel Khel Mein is all set to make its digital debut in the second week of October. Although the film was released theatrically on August 15, 2024, it failed to perform at the box office as it clashed with Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2 and John Abraham's Vedaa. The movie received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike.
'Khel Khel Mein' plot and box office performance
Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Khel Khel Mein is a comedy-drama about seven friends who decide to play truth or dare at a party. The film also features Pragya Jaiswal, Vaani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal, Madhumalti Kapoor, Ammy Virk, and Chitrangada Singh in pivotal roles. Despite its star-studded cast and a ₹100cr budget, the film only earned ₹37.9cr in India and its total worldwide collection was ₹55.25cr.
'Khel Khel Mein' to stream on Netflix
Reports suggest that Khel Khel Mein will premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. However, an official announcement from the producers or the OTT platform is still awaited. The film is a remake of the 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers and despite rave reviews, it had a limited release due to a clash with Stree 2 which dominated at the box office.
Kumar's perspective on his film choices
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Kumar spoke about his choice of films and the recent flop streak. He said, "People want to watch franchise films so I am doing them. Whatever people say, we have to try and understand." He added, "But at the same time, I will not give up doing different kind of cinema also." Despite its limited release due to box office competition, Khel Khel Mein will reach a wider audience with its OTT release.
