Ajay Devgn's Box Office Streak Faces an Unusual Dip with 'Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha'

New Delhi: Ajay Devgn, a prominent figure in Hindi cinema, has long been celebrated for his consistent box office success. His films typically debut with impressive numbers, underscoring his strong star power. However, his latest release, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey and featuring Tabu, has defied this trend, achieving a disappointing opening of just Rs 6.75 crore. This performance marks Ajay’s lowest opening in the past decade, as reported by Sacnilk.

This underwhelming start is particularly striking when compared to his past successes. In 2014, Ajay’s films made a significant impact at the box office, with Action Jackson earning Rs 29.3 crore and Singham Returns raking in an impressive Rs 77.74 crore during their opening weekends. His streak of successful openings continued in the following years, with Drishyam in 2015 bringing in Rs 23.25 crore and Shivaay in 2016 generating Rs 37.65 crore.

Ajay’s filmography over the last decade includes notable hits such as Golmaal Again (Rs 87.6 crore in 2017) and Raid (Rs 40.98 crore in 2018). His comedies, including De De Pyaar De and Total Dhamaal, also performed well, with the latter earning Rs 62.4 crore in 2019. Additionally, Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero, released in 2020, achieved remarkable success with Rs 61.93 crore in its opening weekend.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Ajay’s recent films, including Runway 34 and Thank God, managed to perform decently. Runway 34 earned Rs 14.8 crore, while Thank God accumulated Rs 18.25 crore during its opening. Following these, Drishyam 2 and Bholaa continued to perform well, further solidifying Ajay’s reputation.

Looking ahead, Ajay is set to release Singham Again later this year. With high expectations surrounding the film, there is significant anticipation that it could lead to a major box office rebound, potentially delivering one of the biggest openings of his career.
