An Action Hero, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat, is having a bad weekend. The movie made a pitiful Rs 1.31 crore at the box office, despite the favourable reviews. According to Taran Adarsh, an expert for the film industry, the Saturday box office statistics improved slightly to Rs 2.16 crore.
“#AnAction Hero receives the much-needed boost/jump on Day 2, but despite positive word of mouth, the 2-day total stays incredibly low. Mass circuits lack strength. On Day 3, a dramatic turnaround is required. Sat 2.16 cr, Friday 1.31 cr. Total: $3.47 billion. He tweeted, “#India business.
If the movie, which has an estimated budget of Rs 45 crore, doesn’t gain momentum on Sunday, it will be Ayushmann’s fifth box office failure after Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Anek, and Doctor G.
The box office success of Bhediya, which stars Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, as well as An Action Hero, is also being impacted by Drishyam 2. Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Akshaye Khanna star in the movie, which has already made Rs 170 crore and is gunning for the Rs 200 crore club.
In the movie An Action Hero, Ayushmann Khurrana plays an action hero who gets into trouble after unintentionally killing the brother of a politician from Haryana. The politician (Jaideep Ahlawat) then pursues him as the controversy as a whole is covered by the media. The movie is a sarcastic look at the movie business, action movies, and the media.
