The Indian Film Anek starring Ayushmann Khurrana has had a very disappointing performance domestically. Early estimates place the film’s opening day earnings between Rs. 1-2 crores, which is considerably lower than optimistic expectations of 3 crores on opening day. This performance is around 50% of what his previous release Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui earned domestically on it’s first day.
The pandemic took a toll on the audiences for all actors appealing to an urban audience, and Ayushmann seems to be the worst impacted. His two recent movies opened with little success, proving that people are gradually moving towards watching movies online instead of going out.
