Directed by Neeraj Pandey, the film achieved a gross of ₹2.60 crore on its third day at the domestic box office, according to preliminary estimates from Sacnilk. With the total collection for the first three days amounting to ₹6.75 crore, the film’s opening weekend was deemed successful. On Sunday, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha recorded an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 13.42 percent, with the highest occupancy noted in Chennai at 32.75 percent.
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha marks the 10th collaboration between Ajay Devgn and Tabu, but it failed to draw in the audience to the cinemas. The duo is renowned for delivering major hits, such as their previous release, Bholaa, an action thriller directed by Ajay, which raked in ₹11 crore on its opening day. The mystery thriller Drishyam opened at ₹5.8 crore. Its sequel, Abhishek Pathak’s Drishyam 2, earned three times the original – ₹15.38 crore – on the opening day. Their 2017 comedy flick, Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again, earned twice as much as Drishyam 2 – ₹30 crore. Even their romantic drama, De De Pyaar De, co-starring Rakul Preet Singh, earned ₹8.5 crore, significantly more than their recent romantic drama.
The film also features performances by Jimmy Sheirgill, Shantanu Maheshwari, and Saiee Manjrekar. The narrative of AMKDT chronicles a couple whose romantic journey unfolds over 23 years, from 2000 to 2023, exploring the emotional intricacies and changing dynamics of their relationship throughout this period. Krishna becomes embroiled in a series of murders, resulting in a life sentence. Consequently, Vasudha is compelled to separate from him and eventually marries Abhijeet. After 22 years, Krishna is granted a pardon and released from prison, igniting a desire to reunite with Vasudha. This leads to a poignant final encounter between the two.
