Khel Khel Mein: 2024 Flop Becomes Top Trend on Netflix
2024 has been a mixed year for Bollywood. While blockbusters like Stree 2 and The Greatest of All Time dominated, Khel Khel Mein struggled. Released on August 15, alongside Stree 2 and Vedaa, this comedy-drama directed by Mudassar Aziz faced stiff competition. Despite heavy promotions, the movie failed to recover its Rs 100 crore budget. However, Khel Khel Mein found a second life on OTT platforms.
A Disastrous Box Office Run
Starring Akshay Kumar, Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Ammy Virk, this blockbuster came with high expectations. Competing against big titles like Stree 2 and Mr. Bachchan, the movie struggled to attract audiences. Despite a strong promotional campaign, the film earned only Rs 57 crore worldwide, leading to major losses.
A Dark Comedy with a Unique Plot
The story revolves around three couples attending a wedding. They play a game where everyone must reveal their phone messages and calls. What starts as harmless fun quickly escalates into chaos, as secrets are exposed.
OTT Success: A Surprising Turnaround
Though the movie failed in cinemas, it quickly gained popularity on Netflix. It surpassed films like GOAT and Vedaa to become the top-trending movie on the platform. The film’s success on OTT proves that it has found the right audience digitally.
Khel Khel Mein shows how films can bounce back on OTT, despite poor box office performance.
Netizens Speak Out
Viewers have taken to social media to express their surprise at the film’s resurgence on OTT. Many have praised its humor and relatability, stating that it resonated more with audiences at home than in theaters. Comments like “Khel Khel Mein is a hidden gem!” and “This movie is so much fun, I can’t believe it flopped in cinemas!” are spreading all over.
