'Maidaan' has had steady earnings since opening day
Maidaan started off underwhelmingly, collecting ₹4.5cr on its opening day. The film's earnings experienced some fluctuations in the following days but remained steady overall.

This is what happens in 'Maidaan'
Maidaan is the biopic of the late Syed Abdul Rahim, who coached India during the "golden era of Indian football" and helped the team unprecedentedly snatch away victory from global top teams. It begins with a match at the 1952 Summer Olympics, where Indian players, due to a tragic lack of resources, played barefoot, and ends with India's triumph at the 1962 Asian Games.
