Akshay Kumar and Vaani Kapoor’s latest release, Khel Khel Mein, continues to inch ahead of John Abraham’s Vedaa at the box office, with a stronger performance on its third day.
Khel Khel Mein, which also stars Taapsee Pannu, Ammy Virk, Fardeen Khan, Pragya Jaiswal, and Aditya Seal, was released on Independence Day 2024. Competing against two major Hindi films—Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 and John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh’s Vedaa—the comedy-drama directed by Mudassar Aziz managed to hold its ground at the box office.
According to reports from Sacnilk.com, Khel Khel Mein collected an estimated ₹2.85 crore nett on its third day (Saturday), bringing its India total to an estimated ₹9.95 crore nett after three days. Despite the competition, the film has managed to maintain steady numbers, particularly on the weekend.
In comparison, Vedaa saw a slight dip in its box office numbers on the second day but managed to earn approximately ₹2.4 crore nett on day three. The film opened at ₹6.3 crore nett in India on Thursday but dropped to an estimated ₹1.8 crore nett on Friday. After three days, Vedaa‘s India total stands at an estimated ₹10.5 crore nett.
Occupancy and Audience Reception
On Saturday, Khel Khel Mein recorded an overall 25.59 percent Hindi occupancy, indicating a relatively strong presence in theatres, while Vedaa had a lower occupancy rate of 17.57 percent. Despite facing stiff competition from other big releases, both films have managed to draw audiences, with Khel Khel Mein slightly edging out Vedaa in weekend collections.
