'Maidaan' box office collection: Ajay Devgn's sports drama struggles
What's the story
The sports biographical drama, Maidaan, featuring Ajay Devgn and directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, has experienced a slow second week at the box office.
Despite its acclaimed portrayal of legendary football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, the film struggled to gain traction.
On its 12th day, it earned a mere ₹80 lakh across all languages.
This sluggish performance brought the total haul of the film to ₹36.3 crore on its second Monday since release.
Fierce rivals
'Maidaan' had a slow start at the box office
Released on April 11, Maidaan faced tough competition from Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
The film had a slow start, earning a little over ₹35 crore India nett in its first 11 days.
Despite its talented cast including Priya Mani, Gajraj Rao, Amartya Ray, Rudranil Ghosh, and Baharul Islam, among others, it showed signs of fatigue with extremely slow growth in the second week.

'Maidaan' registered 8.42% occupancy on Monday
