Maidaan Box Office Collection Day 6

Ajay Devgn’s “Maidaan,” a sports drama that arrived with much fanfare, is inching through its first week at the box office with underwhelming figures.

Raising many an eyebrow, the hopeful blockbuster is poised to wrap up the week shy of the ₹30 crore milestone.

Maidaan Box Office Collection Day 6

Ajay Devgn turned heads with his performance in “Maidaan,” yet the box office narrative tells a different story. The sports drama collected an estimated ₹25.15 crore over six days, a sluggish pace for a movie that generated ample buzz prior to release.

Initial Kick-off Falls Short

Kicking off during the festive Eid period, “Maidaan” expected to pull the crowds, but its first score was paltry, earning just ₹19.4 crore in the opening weekend. The Eid holiday, which typically boosts box office revenue, was no savior for “Maidaan,” with the film’s earnings reflecting a rather drab affair.

Mid-Week Surge Fails to Ignite

While the following weekdays usually experience a downward trend, “Maidaan” managed to stay level with Tuesday bringing in around ₹1.65 crore. These figures, though steady, do little to uplift the overall performance.

Budget Woes and Eid Showdown

The budget for “Maidaan” loomed over ₹100 crore, setting expectations high for return on investment. Unfortunately, it falls among the weaker Eid releases in memory, especially when pitted against the action-packed counterpart “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” which leads with approx ₹45 crore over the same period.

Comparison with Past Glories

Ajay Devgn’s box office journey saw contrasting destinies this year, with “Shaitaan” bringing home an impressive over ₹150 crore. Yet “Maidaan,” similar in ambition, lags significantly behind, struggling to cross even the halfway mark of the former’s earnings.

Looking Forward

The ultimate test for “Maidaan” lies in the days ahead. The first week often determines a movie’s trajectory and with experts eyeing its performance, the coming weekend might just be a game changer or a confirmation of a faltering start.

In conclusion, “Maidaan” showcases the unpredictable nature of movie successes. Despite an acclaimed cast and heavy promotions, it highlights the fact that not all big shots score. As the film navigates its theatrical run, the industry watches on, learning from every move it makes on the box office field.
