.Maidaan, directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, and starring Ajay Devgn, Priyamani and Gajraj Rao among others had a dismal second day at the box office as the movie netted around Rs 3 crores. The cumulative total of the movie after 2 and a half days stands at around Rs 9 crores. The movie bets big on the growth over the weekend and then essentially holding at near Friday levels from Monday. Not that it will take Maidaan anywhere but something is better than nothing.

Maidaan Collected Rs 3 Crore Nett In India On Friday Despite The Buy One Get One Offer

The makers of Maidaan had enabled a buy one get one offer and probably that's the reason that there are some collections to show and the drop is 25 percent from Thursday, compared to the 55 percent drop of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan from the first day. What the effort is, is to make more and more people to watch the film so that some sort of word of mouth can be built. At present, the target will be to somehow outgross Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and get a moral victory.

Maidaan Is A Costly Film To Make

Maidaan may not have the budget that Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has, but it is a costly film nonetheless. The non-theatrical recoveries are certainly not enough. With the theatrical recoveries not looking too good either, a loss is practically guaranteed.
