On the second day of its release, “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” experienced a significant boost in box office collections. As per the report by Sacnilk, the romantic thriller, directed by Neeraj Pandey, collected ₹2.15 crore on its first Saturday. This brings the film’s total earnings to ₹4 crore in just two days.
The film stars Ajay Devgn as Krishna and Tabu as his love interest, Vasudha. The story revolves around these two characters who were separated many years ago. Their younger selves are portrayed by Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar. Besides the lead actors, the movie also features Jimmy Shergill in a pivotal role.
Plot and Cast Details
“Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” tells a compelling story of love and separation. Krishna and Vasudha’s journey is depicted through different timelines, with Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar playing their younger versions. This casting decision was a deliberate choice by the director, Neeraj Pandey.
Pandey explained his choice in an interview with News18. He emphasized that de-aging technology, although popular, is often overused. For this particular story, it wouldn’t make sense to de-age Ajay Devgn and Tabu to portray their 21-year-old characters. Instead, casting younger actors brought authenticity to the narrative.
“We were very clear from day one that there would be two different sets of actors to portray two age groups because that fits the story and that, I think, is the beauty of it. People change after 24. Our physical appearance changes,” Pandey said.
Box Office Competition
The film’s release coincided with Sudhanshu Saria’s “Ulajh,” headlined by Janhvi Kapoor. “Ulajh” has also performed well, grossing ₹2.85 crore in its first two days. Despite this competition, “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” has managed to hold its own at the box office.
Production and Support
The film has received strong backing from producers Shital Bhatia, Narendra Hirawat, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Sangeeta Ahir. It is produced under the banners of Friday Filmworks, NH Studioz, and Panorama Studios. This collaboration has undoubtedly contributed to the film’s successful start.
Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s On-Screen Chemistry
Ajay Devgn and Tabu have a long history of successful collaborations. They have previously worked together in several films, including “Golmaal Again,” “De De Pyaar De,” “Vijaypath,” “Haqeeqat,” “Thakshak,” “Bholaa,” and the “Drishyam” series. Their on-screen chemistry is well-loved by audiences, and “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” is another testament to their dynamic pairing.
Looking Ahead
