Maidaan, directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, and starring Ajay Devgn, Priyamani and Gajraj Rao among others had a sorry extended first week at the Indian box office as it netted around Rs 27.50 crores in 8 days. The movie opened to low numbers despite releasing on a holiday and never really got the momentum that it required to put up respectable numbers. From here, even a Rs 45 crore India nett for Maidaan will be a struggle, and this is with incentives provided by the producers.
Maidaan Collects Only Rs 27.50 Crores Nett In Extended Week 1 In India
Maidaan's low collections can be attributed to a number of reasons, like the constant delays in the release of the film and the long trailer that failed to leave an impact. In today's time, the first unit needs to grab adequate attention and that didn't happen with Maidaan. The performance of the biographical-sports-drama led by Ajay Devgn isn't any better internationally as it is struggling to gross a million dollars, which is extremely low.
Maidaan Is A Massive Loss Making Proposition
The worldwide theatrical share of the Amit Ravindernath Sharma's film will be just about Rs 20 crores and that will only cover the print and advertisement expenses of the film and nothing else. The non-theatrical deal was great but it won't be enough to recover the expenses. The makers are likely to face a loss of over Rs 100 crores.
