Aur Mein Kahaan Dum Tha: Shocking Box Office Opening
Ajay Devgan’s film Aur Mein Kahaan Dum Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey, was made on a budget exceeding 100 crore. The romantic drama delivered a completely shocking opening at the box office. Its collection for the first and second days was the lowest compared to any Ajay Devgan film released in the past 10-12 years. Initially, there was an expectation that if the film received good reviews, it might improve its box office performance in the coming days. However, the film received mixed to negative responses from both critics and the public.
On its first day, the India net collection was only 2 crore 10 lakh, which was unexpectedly low. This opening was even lower than Akshay Kumar’s film Sarphira, which had the lowest opening for a mainstream hero this year. Despite it being a Saturday, the film did not see the expected growth on its second day due to negative reviews. There was only a slight jump in collections during the morning, afternoon, and evening shows. Aur Mein Kahaan Dum Tha’s second-day India net collection was approximately 2 crore 50 lakh. This brings the film’s two-day India net collection to 4 crore 60 lakh, with an India gross collection of 5 crore 47 lakh. The film also performed poorly in the overseas market, earning only 1 crore 96 lakh. Consequently, the two-day worldwide box office collection for Aur Mein Kahaan Dum Tha was just 7 crore 33 lakh.
