Khel Khel Mein Takes A Slow Start On Independence Day Holiday; Takes The Lowest Opening Among Hindi Releases

Khel Khel Mein had sold more tickets than Vedaa in the advance bookings but Vedaa's spot bookings were better, as a result of which it could edge past the former. The latter also had higher showcasing as it caters to a much wider audience. Stree 2 is obviously the number one choice and by an unheard margin of over Rs 40 crore. It won't be wrong to say that Khel Khel Mein is affected the most in the Independence Day clash.
