Akshay Kumar, once celebrated as a reliable star and a "hundred-crore hero," has recently been associated with a series of flops.
His latest film, Khel Khel Mein, has struggled to make an impact, following a string of unsuccessful releases.
Despite Akshay’s efforts to revive his career with Khel Khel Mein, the film failed to capture the audience's interest.
Even though the film received some moderate reviews on its first day, with a few viewers finding it better than Akshay's recent films, the initial positive response quickly faded.
The film was overshadowed by the release of Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao.
On its first day, Khel Khel Mein managed to net only Rs 5 crores, while Stree 2 earned a substantial Rs 55.40 crores. By the second day, Khel Khel Mein saw its earnings drop to just Rs 2 crores, as Stree 2 entered the 100-crore club.
The competition from Stree 2 significantly affected Khel Khel Mein's performance.
Even though Akshay Kumar had a cameo in Stree 2, it wasn’t enough to boost Khel Khel Mein's box office performance.
The film's failure further adds to Akshay Kumar’s list of recent disappointments.
