Earlier, two films of Ayush released had better collection than 'Ruslaan' on the opening day. Ayush's debut film Loveyatri, released in 2018, had an opening of Rs 2 crore. Whereas 'Antim', released in 2021, did a business of Rs 5.03 crore on the opening day.

Earlier, big budget films like BMCM and Maidan, released this month, were also flops.
April was dull for Bollywood
According to trade analysts, Bollywood has suffered a loss of approximately Rs 250 crore in April. Films like 'Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan' and 'Maidan', released in the beginning of the month, also flopped badly.
The situation was so bad that to improve the collection of many films released this month, makers and theater owners had to offer free tickets on each one.
