Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha has turned out to be a colossal flop. It will entail a loss of over Rs. 50 crore, which could’ve been more had it not been for revenues of approximately Rs. 80-90 crore from digital and satellite rights sales. The film opened to dismal houses so that the first day closed at Rs. 1.75 crore. Collections on Saturday totalled Rs. 1.80 crore. Sunday was only slightly better at Rs. 2.25 crore. After a weekend total of Rs. 5.80 crore, collections on the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 0.90 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.70 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.65 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.60 crore. With the total for the weekdays being Rs. 2.85 crore, the first week closed at a pathetic Rs. 8.65 crore.

Collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 0.75 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 0.65 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 0.60 crore, Thursday – Rs. 0.50 crore. As the total for the weekdays was Rs. 2.50 crore, the first week closed at Rs. 7.10 crore only.
