Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan has sent shockwaves across the industry the way it performed yesterday. In 2022, Ajay’s Runway 34 failed to make any impact despite the Eid release, and now, the same thing happened with his latest release. The only difference between both is that the sports drama has received highly positive reviews so far. Let’s find out how much the film actually earned on its day 1 at the Indian box office!
Before marking the full-fledged theatrical arrival on the occasion of Eid, paid previews were scheduled for the Amit Sharma directorial. The outcome of the same was decent as a business of 2.50 crores was recorded despite limited shows. Most importantly, these paid previews led to positive reactions all over the internet. Surprisingly, the effect of the same was not at all seen at ticket windows.
As per the official number, Maidaan did a business of just 4.75 crores yesterday. It’s a disheartening number considering the face value of Ajay Devgn, who is coming fresh from the huge success of Shaitaan. Yes, it is understood that there’s a division of screens and audiences due to a clash with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, but a number below 5 crores clearly suggests that genuine interest is lacking among the audience.
