MUMBAI : Looks like Ajay Devgn is going to have an amazing year as first he won the hearts of audiences with his supernatural thriller ‘Shaitaan’. Now the actor is back to impress the audience with another movie titled ‘Maidaan’.

Maidaan is not just a movie but a tribute to Syed Abdul Rahim who was an Indian football coach and manager of the India national team from 1950 until his death in 1963, and a former player. He is regarded as the architect of modern Indian football and his era is known as the golden era of Indian football history.

The makers released its first trailer which was appreciated but not so highly. However, the second trailer of the movie was well received by the audience and it built some expectations in the minds of the audience and especially amongst Ajay Devgn fans. The movie features Ajay Devgn as Syed Abdul Rahim while we also get to see some good performances from Priyamani and Gajraj Rao.

The movie hit the big screens on 11th April and the audience were looking forward to watching the movie on the big screen. While the movie is getting good reviews from the audience, let’s look at the business aspect of the movie. The Ajay Devgn starrer was supposed to be released on 10 April but the date was pushed one day ahead and instead there were paid previews of the movie.

On its opening day, the movie collected Rs 5 Cr net. However, the paid previews that took place on Wednesday collected Rs 2 Cr. Now it’s been 6 days since the movie released and on its day 6 the movie collected around Rs 1.5 cr while the worldwide collection is around Rs 35 cr. Day 6 was a working day and we observed how Bade Miyan Chote Miyan worked better in comparison to Maidaan. However, we did not see a massive drop from day 5 to day 6.
