‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ Box Office: 39 Ajay Devgn Movies Have Performed Better in Their Opening Weekend Than His New Romantic Drama With Tabu!

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Ajay Devgn's third release of 2024, has taken off to a very poor start at the box office. Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, which is directed by Neeraj Pandey in a rare foray into romantic dramas, also stars Tabu, Jimmy Sheirgill, Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar. The film that came with a release date change and a pretty low pre-release buzz made INR 1.85 crore on its opening day, i.e. on August 2, as per Sacnilk. Although it slightly performed better numbers on Saturday and Sunday, the performance wasn't much to salvage anything for the film. As per reports, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha had earned INR 6.75 crore in India in its opening weekend. ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ Box Office Collection Day 1: Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s Romantic Film Underperforms, Mints INR 1.85 Crore in India – Reports.

This places it as one of Ajay Devgn's lowest-performing movies at the box office, taking first-weekend collections into consideration. In fact, when we checked his movies, over 39 of his films recorded better box office numbers in their opening weekend than Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha. To show how bad the performance was, the Ajay Devgn-starrer that had the next best opening weekend collection was Kaal, with INR 7.53 crore, and that came out in 2005!

To rub more salt in the wounds, even some of his worst-performing movies to date, like Tezz (INR 11.08 crore) and Cash (INR 11.08 crore), had better first weekends. The highest first-weekend collections for any Ajay Devgn remains 2017's Golmaal Again, with INR 87.60 crore. ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ Movie Review: Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s Love Story Struggles To Find Its Heart in an Over-Stretched Screenplay.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is about a murder convict who comes out of prison after spending 22 years for killing two men and meeting his former lover, who is now married to someone else. The movie is reportedly made on a budget of INR 100 crore, which is a shocker if you have seen the film.
