Box Office Clash: ‘Stree 2’ Dominates While ‘Veda’ and ‘Khel Khel Mein’ Struggle
On August 15, three films made their debut in theaters, but it is now evident which film has emerged victorious at the box office. With astonishing earning figures, ‘Stree 2’ has claimed the top position since its release. In just five days, it has crossed the impressive milestone of ₹200 crores. In stark contrast, both John Abraham’s ‘Veda’ and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’ are lagging significantly, with neither film yet to reach the ₹50 crore mark. Despite substantial production budgets, both films have struggled to find an audience, overshadowed by the success of ‘Stree 2’, which has captivated fans seeking something extraordinary from the pairing of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Let’s delve deeper into the box office collections for both ‘Veda’ and ‘Khel Khel Mein’ after five days of their release.
John Abraham’s ‘Veda’: A Closer Look at Its Earnings
The collection for John Abraham’s ‘Veda’ has seen a sharp decline by the fifth day. On Monday, the film collected ₹1.5 crores, reflecting a significant 53% drop from its earnings on Sunday. However, the film had a robust start, earning ₹6.3 crores on its first day. Following this, the earnings diminished, with the second day bringing in only ₹1.8 crores. On the third day, the film managed to collect ₹2.7 crores, and by the fourth day, it reached ₹3.2 crores. As a result, the total earnings after four days lie at ₹15.5 crores. Initially, ‘Veda’ outperformed Akshay Kumar’s film, but after Sunday’s collections, it fell behind.
Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’: How Much Has It Collected?
Akshay Kumar is currently making headlines due to his roles in both ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and ‘Stree 2’. In these films, he showcases his talent for comedy, which his fans have eagerly anticipated. However, a considerable portion of the praise is directed towards his brief cameo in ‘Stree 2’. On the fifth day, ‘Khel Khel Mein’ witnessed a collection of ₹2 crores, outperforming ‘Veda’. Nevertheless, there was a noticeable 48% drop in collections compared to the fourth day. The film had an opening day collection of ₹5.05 crores, followed by ₹2.05 crores on the second day, ₹3.1 crores on the third, and ₹3.85 crores on the fourth day. Cumulatively, the film has earned ₹16.05 crores over the five-day period.

Who is Ahead After Five Days: Akshay Kumar or John Abraham?
The competition between Akshay Kumar and John Abraham has been intense. After gaining a lead on the fourth day, Akshay Kumar has successfully maintained his advantage on the fifth day. Initially, it seemed likely that ‘Veda’ would secure the second position among the three films, but within just a couple of days, Akshay Kumar has turned the tables. This shift in momentum suggests a potential resurgence in Akshay Kumar’s fortunes at the box office, and there is still time for further earnings as the films continue to run in theaters.
