Akshay Kumar’s star-studded movie “Khel Khel Mein” sees disappointingly low advance bookings as only 28,000 tickets sold in top chains, signaling a poor start on Independence Day.
Khel Khel Mein directed by Mudassar Aziz and starring Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal and Pragya Jaiswal among others recorded low advance bookings as it could only manage to sell 28000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for its opening day that coincides with the Independence Day holiday. Based on the advance bookings, Khel Khel Mein looks to be the second most preferred movie option for Hindi movie audiences, behind Stree 2, which is all ready to take a bumper start.
Khel Khel Mein Sells Only 28000 Tickets In Top Chains For Independence Day Holiday; Relies On Solid Walk-Ups
Khel Khel Mein has sold a few thousand more tickets than Vedaa in advance bookings but one can’t say for certain if the former will be the second most preferred movie option or not as there are chances that Vedaa will have relatively better spot bookings. Regardless, comparing advances of Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa won’t change the fact that both movies are observing lack of interest among cinegoers this Independence Day. If not for the holiday, the advance ticket sales would have been sub-20000, indicating an under Rs 5 crore nett start.
Akshay Kumar Looks To Make A Big Comeback With Khel Khel Mein
Akshay Kumar has been going through a rough phase since Sooryavanshi, with the exception of OMG 2, in which he had an extended cameo. Going by the lack of urgency for the movie, low advances and fractured release due to major clash, things seem gloomy for the film. However, a good word of mouth, coupled with no major Hindi releases this month can help it have a leggie run.
