Hello Bollywood buffs and gossip mongers! Your favorite Bollywood snooper, Khabree Kiran, is back with the latest scoop. So, let’s dive into the glitzy world of Bollywood where the drama is as real as the movies themselves!
Akshay Kumar’s Box Office Woes: Khel Khel Mein
Akshay Kumar, the khiladi of Bollywood, has been juggling genres like a circus performer. But alas, his recent flick "Khel Khel Mein" has joined the list of movies that failed to hit the mark. I mean, kya yaar, even with all that star power, the film just couldn’t catch the audience’s fancy. 😬
Kya Tha Yeh Khel Khel Mein?
Helmed by Mudassar Aziz, this 2024 comedy-drama is based on the Italian classic "Perfect Strangers." With a star filled lineup including Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Taapsee Pannu, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal, one would think it’s a surefire hit. But the excitement was as absent as good WiFi in a crowded café! 😂
Paisa Bolta Hai: Budget vs Box Office
With a ginormous budget of 100 crore, out of which Akki bhaiya pocketed 60 crore, you’d think money could buy success, right? Wrong! "Khel Khel Mein" only managed to rake in a net of 40.32 crore in India, with a total gross of 47.57 crore. Overseas, the response was thanda, adding just a measly 10 crore. All said and done, the worldwide gross rested at a lukewarm 57.57 crore.
Halfway Mark
Despite all the halla-gulla, the film could barely claw back 50% of its budget. This isn’t the first time hefty actor fees have put a dent in a film’s success. Industry biggies like Karan Johar and Zoya Akhtar have already sounded the alarm, and can you blame them? 🤷♀️
Well, "Khel Khel Mein" might have wrapped up its lackluster run, but here’s hoping Akshay Kumar finds solace—or should I say, ‘paisa vasool’—on OTT platforms, like he did with "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan."
Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood is a strange game, doston! Sometimes, even the biggest stars can’t guarantee a blockbuster. So, if you’re planning to make a movie, maybe spend more on the script than the star, kyunki story hai toh glory hai! 🌟
