This EID, the film industry witnessed a major setback despite the anticipation surrounding notable releases. The clash between Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” and Ajay Devgan’s “Maidaan” highlighted the struggle to captivate audiences. Despite heavy budgets and star power, both films failed to leave a mark at the box office. “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” an action-packed entertainer, fell short of expectations with its lackluster execution, while “Maidhaan,” with its promising sports backdrop, received positive reviews but failed to draw audiences in.
Ajay Devgan’s “Maidaan” was particularly disappointing after the success of “Shaitaan.” Despite good reviews and positive word-of-mouth, the film failed to convert buzz into box office success. The underperformance of these highly anticipated films has led producers and distributors to reconsider audience preferences and the need for innovative storytelling.
On the other hand, the sequel to the hit film “Geethanjali,” titled “Geethanjali Malli Vachindi,” also failed to resonate with audiences. Despite being Anjali’s milestone 50th film and boasting a horror-comedy genre, the film failed to garner decent opening numbers or benefit from positive word-of-mouth. This disappointing venture underscores the audience’s demand for fresh content and innovative storytelling.
As the festival season concludes, it’s evident that audiences are not merely satisfied with the status quo. They crave variety and innovation, pushing filmmakers to explore new narratives and genres to capture their attention. The disappointing performance of EID 2024 releases serves as a reminder that audience preferences are ever-evolving, and filmmakers must adapt to meet these changing demands to thrive in the competitive industry.
