Ajay Devgn’s Film Struggles to Sustain Business as Srikanth Hits Theaters
Entertainment Desk, New Delhi – As Ajay Devgn‘s Maidaan approaches the one-month mark since its release, it’s time for the film to bid farewell to the box office. Despite initial hopes, the film’s journey has been challenging, with stiff competition and dwindling earnings.
Maidaan faced tough competition right from its release during the Eid festival. Going head-to-head with other big releases like Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, the film struggled to make an impact at the box office. Initial earnings of around 6 crores on the opening day set the tone for a challenging run.
The film’s weekly business reports reflect its struggle to maintain momentum. With earnings of only Rs 28.35 crore in the first week, followed by a sharp decline to around Rs 10 crore in the second week, Maidaan‘s fortunes continued to wane. By the third and fourth weeks, earnings had fallen significantly, with figures dropping from crores to lakhs.
As Maidaan enters its fifth week, the release of Rajkummar Rao‘s Srikanth poses a new challenge. With Srikanth absorbing the remaining business at the box office, Maidaan’s journey comes to a close. Despite earning Rs 50.20 crore domestically in 29 days, the film’s earnings fall far short of its production costs.
In its final days on the big screen, Maidaan‘s struggle serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the film industry. Despite its compelling narrative and strong performances, the film faced an uphill battle against competition and changing audience preferences.
As audiences bid farewell to Maidaan, its legacy will endure as a testament to the challenges and triumphs of filmmaking in the ever-evolving landscape of Indian cinema.
