Khel Khel Mein, starring Akshay Kumar, faced tough competition due to its release timing. The film’s numbers took a hit because it clashed with the highly successful Stree 2. Although the movie is showing some improvement, the timing of its release significantly impacted its performance.
The film’s first week ended on a disastrous note but saw a noticeable increase on the second Saturday, bringing in 2 crores as compared to Friday’s collections of 1 crore.

In its second week, the movie is performing better at select screens with good occupancy, indicating that it’s gradually finding its audience.
Khel Khel Mein’ would have done much better if not for the clash with Stree 2. This situation is similar to what happened with Bachchan Pandey when The Kashmir Files was wreaking havoc at the box office.

Khel Khel Mein has been well-received as one of Akshay Kumar’s better films in recent months and is hence drawing some crowds.
If this positive trend continues, with a 50% increase on Sunday, it could lead to steady collections over the next few weeks. The upcoming Janmashtami holiday could further boost its performance.

Khel Khel Mein has so far earned 24 crores and is hoping to reach around 50 crores to get a flop verdict and avoid being labeled a disaster.
A flop verdict is as good as a blockbuster success for Akshay Kumar films these days as he has been delivering only disasters like Mission Ranigunj, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and Sarfira for the past 3-4 years.
