When "A Wednesday" opened in theatres in 2008, speculation about the film's director was rife in the business. It was neeraj pandey, the director. Both crowds and the most critical commentators were won over by his compelling narration and skilful storytelling. Hits like Special 26 and Baby were Neeraj Pandey's follow-ups, and his ms dhoni biography was well-received. After finding Aiyaary to be unsatisfactory, he turned his attention to OTT platforms, where he produced popular series including Special Ops and Free Lancer.
 
Neeraj Pandey made his big-screen comeback with ajay Devgn's Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, following a lengthy hiatus. Because of Neeraj Pandey's repute, there was hope despite the lacklustre buzz from the trailer and songs. Regretfully, the movie was a complete bust, a crappy mashup of Veer-Zaara and Drishyam. Both reviewers and viewers gave the film negative reviews when it first came out. The poor quality from a director of Neeraj Pandey's stature astounded everyone. Stars like tabu and ajay devgn were asked why they accepted to work on this production.
 
"Neeraj Pandey must have some secret video of ajay and Tabu; there's no other explanation for accepting to do this film," a critic said angrily. He failed horribly in his attempt to pull off a Veer-Zaara meets Drishyam. I won't be nostalgic for these leads in this movie; I'll wait for another one. With only 1.70 crores on its first day of release and no improvement on Saturday, the movie had a dismal start. Less than 3.50 crores were collected in the first two days, and it was predicted that the weekend's total would only surpass 5 crores.
 
This outperformed ajay devgn films from 20 years ago at the box office, including Apaharan and Qayamat. neeraj pandey is another director who has become antiquated in the post-pandemic period with Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha. The epidemic era has been harsh, with viewers blatantly rejecting mediocrity. At the box office, only films with true entertainment value are doing well. neeraj pandey is currently counted among the legendary filmmakers of the past who were unable to change with the times.
 
Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Rohit Shetty, Shankar, Trivikram, ali Abbas Zafar, koratala siva, Sooraj Barjatya, and parasuram are among the other filmmakers who have had such difficulties. Once successful, these directors are now fighting to remain relevant in a field that is changing quickly.
