Superstar Ajay Devgan’s film ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ has turned out to be one of the biggest flops of his career. Despite a hefty budget of ₹100 crores, the film has failed to even reach the ₹10 crore mark in its first five days. On the other hand, Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Uljh’ is faring even worse at the box office.
Now, both films are hoping to see a surge in earnings around Independence Day, with the release of films like ‘Stree 2’, ‘Khel Khel Mein’, and ‘Veda’. However, ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ and Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Uljh’, both released last Friday, have been major disappointments, struggling to attract audiences from day one. Even Ajay Devgan’s star power hasn’t been able to draw crowds to theaters, making the situation more concerning.
Directed by Neeraj Pandey, ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ had a budget of ₹100 crores. While Ajay’s previous film ‘Maidan’ didn’t make huge profits, it received critical acclaim. On the other hand, his film ‘Shaitan’ was a massive hit this year, becoming Bollywood’s first superhit of 2024. Unfortunately, ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ has failed to garner either praise or revenue. Even if the film manages to earn a bit more by August 15th, recovering its losses seems unlikely.
‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ Earns ₹90 Lakhs on Tuesday
According to a report by sacnilk, ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ earned ₹90 lakhs on Tuesday, its fifth day after release. The day before, on Monday, it had earned ₹1 crore. The total net collection of the film at the Indian box office stands at just ₹8.65 crores over five days. On Tuesday, the film saw an average of 92% of seats empty during its shows in theaters.
‘Uljh’ Earns Only ₹6.20 Crores in Five Days
The box office performance of Janhvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah’s ‘Uljh’ has been even more dismal. Directed by Sudhanshu Saria, this spy-thriller film had a budget of ₹50 crores but has struggled to bring in revenue. On its fifth day, Tuesday, the film earned ₹65 lakhs, the same amount it earned on Monday. The total net collection of ‘Uljh’ in India after five days is ₹6.20 crores.
Worldwide Collection of ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ and ‘Uljh’
The worldwide box office collections for both films are also disappointing. In its first five days, ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ grossed ₹11.75 crores globally, while ‘Uljh’ managed to earn only ₹8 crores.
