The film’s opening day was Friday, September 19. It collected only ₹0.25 crore. This was a very small number. The movie had to compete with “Jolly LLB 3,” a much bigger film. “Jolly LLB 3” stars Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. That film had a huge opening day collection of ₹12.5 crore. The difference in numbers was very big.

On its second day, Saturday, “Ajey” showed a small improvement. It collected ₹0.35 crore. This was a 70% jump from Friday. Film critics and trade analysts were watching the numbers closely. A jump on Saturday is normal. But this jump was not enough to make the film a success.

Sunday was the third day of the film. Sunday is usually the best day for a movie. People go to the cinema with their families. “Ajey” collected ₹0.45 crore on Sunday. This was a steady number. It was a good sign that people were still watching the movie. The film’s total weekend collection came to ₹1.05 crore.

Some other reports put the number slightly lower, at ₹1.05 crore. Either way, the numbers were not strong.

The film’s makers had high hopes. The story is of a very popular political leader. Yogi Adityanath is the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. He is a well-known figure. The film is based on a book called “The Monk Who Became Chief Minister” by Shantanu Gupta. It shows his journey from a young boy to a powerful leader. The film stars Anant Joshi as Yogi Adityanath. Paresh Rawal plays his guru.

Why is the Film Failing?

There can be many reasons for the film’s poor performance.

First, there is the competition. “Jolly LLB 3” is a very popular film. It had a huge buzz before its release. The public was excited to watch it. It is a big-budget movie with famous stars. “Ajey” is a smaller film. It did not have the same level of marketing.

Second, the film had some problems before its release. It was supposed to be released in August. But it had issues with the Censor Board. The release was delayed to September. This might have hurt the film’s momentum. People might have forgotten about the film.

Third, political biopics in India have not always done well at the box office. In the past, films on leaders like PM Narendra Modi and former PM Manmohan Singh also struggled. It seems that a leader’s popularity does not always translate into a successful film.

People are interested in the person, but maybe not in the film about them.

Fourth, the film has had mixed reviews. Critics have given different opinions. The audience’s response has also not been very strong. The film did not create a lot of buzz on social media. People were not talking about it like they do for other big films.

What Next for “Ajey”?

The journey ahead for “Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi” looks difficult. The film’s budget is reportedly around ₹25 crore. To be a hit, it needs to earn much more money.

The Monday collections suggest that the film’s run in the theatres will be very short. The movie will not earn much more money from here. It is unlikely to become a box office success.

The film’s true test might be on streaming platforms. Many films that do not do well in cinemas find a second life on OTT. People can watch them from their homes. This could be a different way for the film to reach its audience.

For now, the story of “Ajey” at the box office is one of struggle. The untold story of the yogi remains untold for many movie-goers. The film has failed to connect with the masses. It seems like only a few people were interested in seeing this political biopic.
