'Khel Khel Mein' shows growth, but fails to reach ₹10cr
What's the story
Akshay Kumar's latest comedy-drama, Khel Khel Mein, has shown a slight increase in its box office collection on the third day of release.
Despite positive reviews, the film has been struggling to make a significant impact at the box office, primarily due to competition from other releases like Stree 2 and Vedaa.
However, Saturday's collection indicates a potential upward trend for the movie.
Box office
'Khel Khel Mein' earned ₹2.85 crore on Saturday
According to Sacnilk, Khel Khel Mein raked in ₹2.85 crore on Saturday, marking a 39% growth compared to Friday's earnings of ₹2.05 crore.
The film had a strong opening day with collections of ₹5.05 crore, but witnessed a sharp drop on the second day (Friday) by 59.41%.
The total collection after three days stands at ₹9.95 crore.
Box office competition
'Khel Khel Mein' faces stiff competition from 'Stree 2,' 'Vedaa'
Khel Khel Mein's performance at the box office will be influenced by its competitors, Stree 2 and Vedaa.
The former has already surpassed the lifetime collections of its prequel in just three days, while Vedaa is also outpacing Khel Khel Mein, albeit with a smaller margin.
It remains to be seen whether the comedy-drama can cross the ₹15 crore mark over the extended weekend.
