Azaad Box Office: Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani's Period Drama Earns Less Than ₹10 Crore Worldwide

"Despite a promising cast and special appearance by Ajay Devgn, Azaad fails to leave a mark due to stiff competition and low audience turnout."

February 6, 2025: Abhishek Kapoor’s directorial venture Azaad, featuring newcomers Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani with a special appearance by Ajay Devgn, has failed to perform at the box office. The historical drama, which had garnered some buzz pre-release, has been a disappointment, earning around ₹6.5 crore in India and less than ₹10 crore globally.

The film struggled with occupancy rates and could not sustain its momentum after the first weekend.

Contributing Factors:

1. Stiff Competition:
   Azaad faced direct competition from high-profile releases such as Emergency and Pushpa 2: The Rule, which dominated screens and audience attention.
2. Screen Availability:
   The movie lost a significant number of screens to Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force, further limiting its reach.
3. Low Occupancy Rates:
   Poor audience turnout, even during peak hours, hurt its box office earnings.

• Cast: Aaman Devgan, Rasha Thadani, with Ajay Devgn in a special appearance

Conclusion:
While Azaad showcased a promising new cast and a noteworthy cameo by Ajay Devgn, it fell short of audience expectations. With its theatrical run over, the movie will now look toward digital platforms for redemption.
