According to Sacnilk, Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein witnessed a modest overall Hindi occupancy of 16.22% on its second day, Friday, August 16. The film's performance varied significantly across different show timings. Night shows proved to be the most popular, with an occupancy rate of 28.85%. Afternoon and evening shows followed with 13.48% and 15.56% occupancy respectively. Morning shows, on the other hand, struggled to attract audiences, registering a low occupancy of 6.99%.

Khel Khel Mein revolves around the story of Rishabh, a successful plastic surgeon played by the silver-haired Akshay Kumar. His seemingly perfect marriage to Vartika, portrayed by Vaani Kapoor, is on the brink of collapse due to a three-month ultimatum issued by his wife. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Rishabh, behind his professional facade, is a typical husband harbouring secrets from Vartika. This situation is causing significant strain on their relationship.
