Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh also posted a note on X (formerly Twitter) regarding Khel Khel Mein. He wrote: “After a weak start to the national holiday [#IndependenceDay]#KhelKhelMein continued its downward trend on day 2, which is a normal working day… With a poor start, the film should have at least matched the first day’s numbers, but unfortunately it didn’t.”
He said, “#KhelKhelMein is aimed at a metro-centric audience, but even in the largest urban centers – its primary target – the film has not been wholeheartedly received, as can be seen from the material. All eyes are now on Sat-Sun-Mon [#RakshaBandhan partial holiday] biz. [Week 1] Thu 5.23 ov, Sat 2.42 ov. Total: ₹ 7.65 Cr. #IndianBusiness. #Boxoffice”
