Drishyam 3 creates BOX OFFICE MAYHEM! Ajay Devgn starrer opens at a MASSIVE Rs. 65 crore; biggest opener of his career

/ October 02, 2026

The Ajay Devgn led Drishyam 3 has decimated the box office in India as the film ran to packed houses all across the board. According to very early estimates, the Abhishek Pathak directorial has opened in the range of Rs. 63 crore to Rs. 66 crore, which is not only the biggest opening day ever for an Ajay Devgn film, but also one of the biggest opening day of all time for a feature film in Hindi.

The national multiplex chains, PVRInox and Cinepolis, clocked record occupancy on opening day, as the film also faced capacity issues at many locations. More shows, especially early in the morning, could have taken the film towards the Rs. 70 crore mark too, but the makers opened the film to the audiences late at 9 AM.

The film is carrying tremendous reports and is set for a long theatrical run. If present buzz is anything to go by, Drishyam 3 is on track to hit the Rs. 500 crore club, which is exceptional to say the least. There was Udta Teer releasing in the second weekend, and the makers have now delayed the film to 23rd October, which is a brilliant business move, as it would have struggled for showcasing in front of a beast like Drishyam 3.

Drishyam 3 is set to become the biggest blockbuster for Ajay Devgn, and also the first ever to enter the Rs. 500 crore club for the superstar. The third chapter has also established it as one of the biggest and most successful franchises of Indian Cinema. The first weekend of Drishyam 3 could be as high as Rs. 200 crore depending on the trajectory from tomorrow, but a bare minimum total of Rs. 180 crore is locked from here.

Ajay Devgn's Drishyam The Conclusion has built strongly on its morning start. According to early estimates, the film has collected Rs. 33.50 crore nett by 5 PM on day one, more than doubling its noon figure of Rs. 15.33 crore.

The film has recorded an overall occupancy of 52% across approximately 8,500 shows so far. That is a healthy number for a day-one afternoon and early evening, and it shows that audiences have kept turning up in large numbers after the strong morning response. The show count has also grown from the roughly 5,700 shows counted at noon, as more afternoon and evening screenings were added to the tally.

The jump of over Rs. 18 crore in just a few hours shows how much demand there is for the final chapter of the Drishyam franchise. Word of mouth from the early shows appears to be working in the film's favour, and the growth through the afternoon suggests the film is drawing in family audiences as well as the die-hard fans who showed up for the first-day-first-show screenings.

The biggest boost is still to come. Night shows typically see increased footfalls, and that should result in a further spike in collections as the day ends. With the evening and night shows still to add their numbers, the film looks set for a big opening day.

The wait is over for fans of Vijay Salgaonkar and his family, with Drishyam The Conclusion arriving in cinemas to a roaring morning response. According to early estimates, the film has collected Rs. 15.33 crore nett over its morning shows on day one, a big start for Ajay Devgn's thriller.

The film has sold approximately 5.2 lakh tickets across roughly 5,700 shows so far. The numbers show the pull of the Drishyam franchise. The two earlier films built their reputation on gripping storytelling and strong word of mouth, and audiences have clearly turned up in large numbers to see how the saga ends. The film's release on a Friday has also helped, with fans lining up for first day-first-show screenings.

With evening and night shows typically bringing stronger footfalls than the morning, the film is well placed to build on this start through the day, provided the audience response holds up. The afternoon and evening trends will show how big the opening day turns out to be.

Hanuman Ansh has officially crossed the Rs. 300 crore mark at the India box office, completing a remarkable turnaround that has transformed the film into one of the year's biggest theatrical success stories. The film collected Rs. 1.56 crore on Wednesday, September 30, taking its India net total to Rs. 301.40 crore. The Day 55 collection was 33.90% lower than Tuesday's Rs. 2.36 crore.

What makes the milestone particularly striking is the journey Hanuman Ansh has taken to get there. The film opened to just Rs. 0.10 crore on Day 1 and collected only Rs. 1.07 crore in its opening week. Week 2 was even lower at Rs. 0.50 crore. The turnaround began in Week 3, when the film jumped to Rs. 11.09 crore, before exploding to Rs. 62.15 crore in Week 4 and Rs. 90.65 crore in Week 5.

The film then added another Rs. 76.37 crore in Week 6 and Rs. 39.41 crore in Week 7. Even its eighth weekend contributed Rs. 14.57 crore, taking the film within touching distance of the landmark before it finally crossed Rs. 300 crore on Day 55.

The latest milestone caps one of the most unusual box-office journeys of 2026, with Hanuman Ansh going from a modest opening to a Rs. 300 crore theatrical run through sustained audience support over several weeks.

The film has now completed 55 days in theatres, while Day 56 is currently LIVE.

Hanuman Ansh has turned its extraordinary theatrical run into a box office record that could potentially remain untouched for years. As per the Aamir Khan Formula, the film has registered a staggering 467.94x weekend-to-lifetime multiple, a figure that puts it in a league of its own. The Aamir Khan formula measures a film’s lifetime business against its opening weekend, essentially highlighting how much a film grows after its first three days. The idea is that films with strong legs continue attracting audiences well beyond the initial weekend, with word of mouth and sustained audience interest driving their theatrical journey.

And Hanuman Ansh has taken that concept to an almost unimaginable level. The film is not merely the only release of 2026 to record a triple-digit multiple it has come remarkably close to the 500x mark. In fact, its 467.94x multiple is more than 40 times that of the film placed second on the current chart.

The contrast is striking. Main Vaapas Aaunga, which sits at No. 2, has a multiple of 11.60x, while Krishnavataram - Part 1: The Heart stands at 5.58x and Project Hail Mary at 5.36x. Several major 2026 releases are even below the 3x mark.

This means that while most films find it difficult to even break into double digits, Hanuman Ansh has gone into triple-digit territory and then pushed the number towards 500.

The film’s journey makes the achievement even more remarkable. Hanuman Ansh opened to a modest Rs. 0.64 crore over its first weekend but went on to record a lifetime India net of Rs. 300.44 crore, resulting in the phenomenal 467.94x multiple.

Aamir Khan’s formula has previously highlighted films such as Main Vaapas Aaunga for their ability to grow beyond the opening weekend. But Hanuman Ansh has rewritten the scale altogether.

At 467.94x, this is not just another entry on the chart. It is a record that, given the enormous gap to the rest of the field, might never be broken.

Speaking about Hanuman Ansh’s phenomenal number as per Aamir Khan formula, veteran trade analyst Taran Adarsh said, “No formula, no calculation can work for Hanuman Ansh. This film has proven all calculations and estimations wrong by a wide, wide, wide margin. Its first week was very weak. In the second week, it collapsed. On the third Friday, there was slight movement. But Saturday and Sunday went up and that was the turning point. No formula or calculation can predict its business. Even the producer and director I spoke to, no one has an answer as to how much it will earn eventually. It is just going on. If a film made in Rs. 2 crores makes Rs. 300 crores, you can imagine what kind of business it has done.”

He said that Hanuman Ansh’s triumph reminds him of the enormous success of the 1975 movie Jai Santoshi Maa when he was 10 years old. “I saw it thrice in those days and it was packed every time,” he recalled. “When the song ‘Main Toh Aarti Utaaru Re’ used to play, we used to get up from our seats and sing along. People also used to remove their footwear outside the cinema hall. Those are the memories I cannot forget. That was a rare film. That was also a devotional film. Later, Rajshri Productions came up with Nadiya Ke Paar (1982). The kind of craze that film had was amazing. All these films defy the calculations and estimations.”

When asked whether any other film in the near future is expected to break Hanuman Ansh’s record of achieving this number as per Aamir Khan’s formula, Adarsh was quick to say, “Never say never. Records are meant to be broken. Maybe some movie can do as much business or surprise us again. Like I always say, box office can be very unpredictable and that’s the beauty of this business. One week before the release of Hanuman Ansh, did anyone expect this film to give a tough fight to some big films and do Rs. 300 crores’ business? People are stunned and shocked to see that such a thing can happen. A lot of times a film has opened with a bang but collapsed on the next day. Toxic is a shining example. Hanuman Ansh was playing in theatres when Toxic released. This film has put behind so many films – from Spider Man: Brand New Day to The Odyssey to Toxic to Batwara 1947 to Awarapan 2 to Haiwaan to Mirzapur The Movie and now The Vvaan. When you see a film succeed like this, it reinforces your faith in cinema.”

Top 10 films with the highest weekend to lifetime multiple Hanuman Ansh - 467.94 Main Vaapas Aaunga - 11.60 Krishnavataram - Part 1: The Heart - 5.58 Project Hail Mary (English) - 5.36 The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond - 4.59 Bhooth Bangla - 3.09 Mardaani 3 - 3.08 Pati Patni Aur Woh Do - 2.81 Border 2 - 2.63 Dhamaal 4 - 2.55

The Drishyam franchise is on the verge of a major box-office milestone. With Drishyam: The Conclusion set to arrive in cinemas on October 2, the Ajay Devgn-led franchise is likely to make a significant jump on Bollywood Hungama’s list of the highest-grossing Hindi franchises of all time.

The Drishyam franchise currently stands at No. 21, with a combined India net collection of Rs. 307.67 crore. The original Drishyam, released in 2015, contributed Rs. 67.13 crore, while Drishyam 2 went on to collect a remarkable Rs. 240.54 crore in 2022.

However, Drishyam 3 is entering the race with considerably higher expectations. box-office tracking suggests that the film is looking at an opening of around Rs. 50 crore, with the potential to go higher towards the Rs. 55–60 crore range. The film had already sold over 1 lakh tickets across PVR INOX and Cinepolis by Tuesday afternoon, indicating strong momentum ahead of its release.

And that opening could be just the beginning.

To break into the Top 10, the Drishyam franchise needs to cross the current No. 10 franchise, Singham, which has a cumulative India net collection of Rs. 509.27 crore. In other words, Drishyam 3 needs to contribute at least Rs. 201.60 crore to push the franchise past Singham.

Interestingly, Drishyam 3 is expected to surpass the lifetime collection of Drishyam 2 Rs. 240.54 crore in less than a week. If that happens, the franchise will comfortably move beyond the Top 10 cut-off.

The current Top 10 also gives an indication of the company Drishyam is looking to join. Singham sits at No. 10 with Rs. 509.27 crore, followed by Bhool Bhulaiyaa at Rs. 518.82 crore, Animal at Rs. 556.36 crore, Gadar at Rs. 602.33 crore and Baahubali at Rs. 635.82 crore. At the top are Housefull, Stree, Ek Tha Tiger, Pushpa and Dhurandhar.

The interesting part is that Drishyam 3 does not necessarily need another blockbuster-sized run to make the Top 10. A collection of just over Rs. 200 crore would be enough to achieve the mathematical jump. Given the film’s current advance momentum and Bollywood Hungama’s tracking of a Rs. 50 crore-plus opening, the franchise has put itself firmly in contention.

Of course, the eventual position will depend on how Drishyam 3 performs after its opening weekend and, more importantly, how strongly it holds through the following weeks. But one thing is clear: after building from Rs. 67.13 crore with Drishyam to Rs. 240.54 crore with Drishyam 2, the Vijay Salgaonkar saga is now eyeing a place among the biggest Hindi film franchises in India.

The Vvaan has bounced back on its first Tuesday, with the Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer collecting Rs. 5.40 crore on Day 5, September 29. The film registered a 20% growth over Monday's Rs. 4.50 crore. The latest business takes The Vvaan's India net collection to Rs. 41.77 crore.

The film had entered its first Monday after collecting Rs. 31.75 crore over its opening weekend, with the first weekend comprising Rs. 7.25 crore on Friday, Rs. 10.50 crore on Saturday and Rs. 14 crore on Sunday. After dropping 67.86% on Monday, the film found some momentum on Tuesday. The Rs. 5.40 crore collection marks a 20% increase over the previous day's Rs. 4.50 crore, giving the film some support as it heads into the mid-week phase of its first week.

The Tuesday business came with an overall occupancy of 26.90% across 5,715 shows and 1,405 venues. The occupancy improved significantly over Monday's 14.46%. The Vvaan has now crossed the Rs. 40 crore mark in India net.

The first week's final trajectory will now depend on whether the film can sustain the Tuesday momentum through the remaining weekdays. For now, the Rs. 5.40 crore Tuesday provides a notable recovery after Monday's sharp correction.

The Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 3 continues to witness a phenomenal response at the advance booking counters, with the film already crossing the 1.25 lakh mark in ticket sales across the top national chains. As of Wednesday, at 7:30 AM, the Abhishek Pathak-directed thriller has sold 1.29 lakh tickets for its opening day on Friday across PVRInox and Cinepolis.

PVRInox leads the advance booking race with 1,02,000 admits, while Cinepolis has contributed another 27,000 tickets, taking the combined tally to an impressive 1,29,000 admits. The pace is particularly noteworthy considering the film still has two full days of advances left before its theatrical release on Friday.

Drishyam 3 had crossed the 1 lakh-ticket mark across the national chains as of Tuesday afternoon, with 1,02,000 tickets sold by 1 PM. The film has therefore added another 27,000 tickets in less than 18 hours, underlining the continued momentum at the ticket counters.

The film is targeting a massive opening at the box office, with the current advance trend pointing towards a start in the Rs. 50 crore range. The earlier advance momentum had already put Drishyam 3 on course to challenge Ajay Devgn's biggest opening day, with Singham Again currently cited at around Rs. 43.7 crore.

With the advances expected to accelerate further through Wednesday and Thursday, the national-chain tally could see a substantial jump before the first show on Friday. The response in non-national chains is also being closely watched as the film heads towards its opening day.

Drishyam 3 brings Ajay Devgn back as Vijay Salgaonkar and serves as the third instalment of the popular franchise, following the blockbuster success of Drishyam 2. With the film already registering strong advances, all eyes are now on how the final pre-release numbers shape up before Friday.

The Vvaan witnessed a sharp drop on its first Monday as the Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer collected Rs. 4.50 crore on Day 4. The film's India net total currently stands at Rs. 36.27 crore. The Monday collection represents a 67.86% decline from Sunday, when The Vvaan collected Rs. 14 crore. The film had shown strong growth through the opening weekend, moving from Rs. 7.25 crore on Friday to Rs. 10.50 crore on Saturday and Rs. 14 crore on Sunday.

The opening weekend saw Rs. 31.75 crore coming in, with the Day 4 business subsequently taking the film beyond the Rs. 36 crore mark in four days. The film's weekend trajectory had been encouraging, with Saturday recording a 44.83% jump over Friday, followed by another 33.33% increase on Sunday. The sharp Monday correction, however, makes the weekday trend particularly important for the film's theatrical run.

The Vvaan had opened at Rs. 7.25 crore on Friday and recorded 20.31% overall occupancy, before improving to 29.13% on Saturday and 36.30% on Sunday. Monday occupancy stood at 14.46%.

The film has now entered its first full working week, with the collections from Tuesday onward expected to provide a clearer picture of its hold after the opening weekend. Bollywood Hungama currently lists The Vvaan's India net collection at Rs. 36.27 crore, India gross at Rs. 43.18 crore and worldwide gross at Rs. 44.90 crore.

The immediate box-office focus will now be on whether the film can stabilise after the first Monday drop and build on its Rs. 31.75 crore opening weekend.

Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 3 is witnessing a strong surge in advance booking ahead of its October 2 release. The Abhishek Pathak directorial has already sold 80,500 tickets across the national chains for its opening day, with the pace of advance sales gathering momentum as the film heads into the final days before release.

As of Monday night, Drishyam 3 has sold approximately 63,000 tickets at PVR INOX and 17,500 tickets at Cinepolis, taking the combined national-chain tally to 80,500 tickets for Friday. The film had stood at 55,000 tickets across the top national chains as of Monday noon, indicating a significant jump through the course of the day.

The current pace also puts Drishyam 3 in a strong position against Drishyam 2. The latter had recorded a final advance sale of around 1.16 lakh tickets at the national chains, a number that Drishyam 3 is expected to surpass by the end of Tuesday if the current momentum continues.

More significantly, the film is now chasing the 2.26 lakh-ticket final advance benchmark of Singham Again at the national chains. While Drishyam 3 still has ground to cover, the next 48 hours will be crucial as advance booking gathers further steam.

From a box-office perspective, the current advance trend is pointing towards a Rs. 45-50 crore-plus opening day, with the possibility of going higher depending on the final advance, spot bookings and ticket pricing. The film is also expected to benefit from a relatively high average ticket price, particularly at premium multiplex properties.

If the momentum sustains through Wednesday and Thursday, Drishyam 3 could potentially move towards the Rs. 50 crore mark, while a particularly strong combination of advances, spot bookings and premium ticket rates could push the opening further towards the Rs. 55 crore range.

The film, presented by Star Studio18 and produced by Panorama Studios, brings back Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar alongside Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor and the returning cast, with Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj joining the franchise. The film releases theatrically on October 2, 2026.

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer The Vvaan continued to build momentum through its opening weekend, recording another increase in collections on Sunday. According to the latest figures, the film collected Rs. 11.90 crores on Day 3, up 13.33% from Saturday's Rs. 10.50 crores.

The Sunday growth takes The Vvaan's opening weekend India net collection to Rs. 29.65 crores.

The film has therefore shown a steady upward movement through its first weekend. After opening at Rs. 7 crores on Friday, the film improved to Rs. 10.50 crores on Saturday before recording its biggest single-day collection of the weekend with Rs. 11.90 crores on Sunday. The three-day trajectory indicates that the film gained momentum as the weekend progressed.

The Sunday collection accounts for around 40.13% of the film's opening-weekend total, based on a calculation from reported figures.

The weekend performance now gives The Vvaan a solid base going into its first Monday. The crucial test will be how much of the weekend momentum the film can retain once the working week begins.

For now, the key takeaway is the consistent growth across the opening weekend. Rather than peaking on Friday, The Vvaan has recorded successive increases on Saturday and Sunday, with the latter emerging as its biggest day so far.

With Rs. 29.65 crores collected in its opening weekend, the Sidharth Malhotra-Tamannaah Bhatia starrer will now look to convert the weekend momentum into a stable weekday run.

Mirzapur – The Movie continued its theatrical run with another day above the Rs. 1 crore mark on Sunday. The film collected Rs. 1.11 crore on Day 24, taking its cumulative India net collection to Rs. 211.48 crores. The Sunday collection was 15.27% lower than Saturday's Rs. 1.31 crore.

Despite the drop, the film managed a healthy number on all three days of its fourth weekend. It collected Rs. 0.68 crore on Friday, followed by Rs. 1.31 crore on Saturday and Rs. 1.11 crore on Sunday. This takes the fourth-weekend collection to Rs. 3.10 crore, based on the reported daily figures.

The weekend trend also shows the expected Saturday jump followed by a Sunday correction, but the film has continued to add to its total even in its fourth week. The latest figures keep Mirzapur – The Movie above the Rs. 210 crores milestone, with the cumulative India net now at Rs. 211.48 crores.

The film had crossed Rs. 200 crores earlier in its run, becoming one of the notable theatrical performers of the year. Its ability to continue attracting audiences into the fourth week has allowed it to keep adding to that total despite the arrival of newer releases.

The next focus will be the film's weekday hold. After a fourth weekend of Rs. 3.10 crores, the Monday collection will indicate how much momentum remains as the film moves deeper into its theatrical run.

For now, Mirzapur – The Movie has added another Rs. 3 crore-plus weekend to its tally and stands at Rs. 211.48 crores in India.

Hanuman Ansh continues to stretch its extraordinary theatrical run, with the devotional drama recording another strong Sunday at the India box office. The film collected Rs. 6.52 crores on Day 52, registering a 14.79% jump over Saturday's Rs. 5.68 crores. The latest business takes the film's India net collection to Rs. 295.91 crores.

The Sunday growth also helped Hanuman Ansh close its eighth weekend with Rs. 14.57 crores, comprising Rs. 2.37 crores on Friday, Rs. 5.68 crores on Saturday and Rs. 6.52 crores on Sunday, closing the eighth weekend at Rs. 14.57 crores. The film is now just Rs. 4.09 crores short of the Rs. 300 crores milestone.

What makes the latest update particularly striking is that the film continues to record weekend growth even this deep into its theatrical run. After Saturday's 139.66% jump, Sunday brought another 14.79% increase, with occupancy reaching 39.32%.

Hanuman Ansh has therefore added Rs. 14.57 crores during its eighth weekend alone. The film's cumulative India net now stands at Rs. 295.91 crores, putting the Rs. 300 crores mark firmly within the immediate box-office conversation.

The Monday trend will now be crucial, but with only Rs. 4.09 crores separating the film from the landmark, the next few updates will be closely tracked.

The Paradise saw a decline in collections on its first Friday. Reports state that the film earned Rs. 0.88 crore on Day 2, down 27.87% from its opening-day collection of Rs. 1.22 crore. The film’s cumulative India nett collection now stands at Rs. 2.10 crore.

The drop suggests that the film has not yet managed to convert its opening into a stronger upward trend. With the weekend now underway, Saturday and Sunday become important from a theatrical standpoint, particularly because the film needs a noticeable increase to improve its opening-weekend standing.

For now, The Paradise remains in the early phase of its run, and the available figures are still limited. However, the Friday decline means that the film will need to show stronger audience participation over the weekend if it is to build a meaningful theatrical trajectory.

Mirzapur – The Movie showed a clear improvement in business on Saturday. The film collected Rs. 1.30 crore on Day 23, recording a 91.18% jump over Friday’s Rs. 0.68 crore. Its cumulative India nett collection now stands at Rs. 210.44 crore.

The Saturday growth comes after a relatively muted Friday, when the film’s daily business slipped below the Rs. 1 crore mark. The sharp rise indicates that the title continues to retain enough audience pull to benefit from the weekend period, even at this stage of its theatrical run.

The film’s latest total further strengthens its position among the notable theatrical performers of the current season. While the pace is naturally lower than the film’s opening phase, the ability to recover on Saturday remains encouraging from a trade perspective.

Mirzapur – The Movie has now entered its fourth week in cinemas and is operating in a market where newer films are competing for screens and show timings. Despite that pressure, the film has managed to add to its total and remain a relevant theatrical title.

The key question now is whether Sunday can deliver another increase or at least hold Saturday’s gains. A stable weekend would help the film consolidate its position above Rs. 210 crore and extend its run further into the coming week.

Hanuman Ansh continued its extraordinary theatrical run with a major Saturday surge. The film collected Rs. 5.68 crore on Day 51, marking a 139.66% jump over Friday’s Rs. 2.37 crore. The latest business has taken the film’s cumulative India nett collection to Rs. 289.71 crore.

The weekend rebound has once again underlined the film’s remarkable staying power. After completing seven weeks in theatres, Hanuman Ansh is still managing to register meaningful growth on a Saturday, despite the arrival of newer titles and the presence of several established releases in the market.

The film is now just Rs. 10.29 crore short of the Rs. 300 crore milestone. That gap is based on Bollywood Hungama’s reported cumulative total and represents a calculation. With Sunday business still to come, the film is well placed to make a serious push towards the landmark.

What makes the run particularly notable is the consistency with which Hanuman Ansh has managed to stay relevant beyond the conventional theatrical window. The Day 51 performance suggests that the film continues to benefit from sustained audience interest, especially in markets where theatrical circulation remains strong.

The immediate focus will now be on whether the film can maintain Saturday’s momentum and cross Rs. 300 crore during the ongoing weekend or shortly after. At Rs. 289.71 crore, Hanuman Ansh has already transformed from a long-running success into one of the defining box-office stories of 2026.

The Day 22 collection represents a 17.07% decline from Thursday, when the film collected Rs. 0.82 crore. Despite the day-on-day drop, Mirzapur – The Movie continues to add to its cumulative total in its fourth week.

The film had enjoyed a strong opening phase, collecting Rs. 90.95 crores during its first weekend. It went on to close its first week at Rs. 143.75 crores before adding another substantial amount during its second week.

Friday's Rs. 68 lakh takes the film's total to Rs. 209.06 crores. While the daily numbers are now considerably lower than the levels seen during its opening weeks, the film continues to generate incremental theatrical business.

The film's performance also adds another significant milestone to the theatrical journey of the Mirzapur franchise. Having crossed Rs. 200 crores, the focus now shifts to how much further the film can travel during the remainder of its run.

With the fourth weekend underway, Saturday and Sunday collections will determine whether the film can register another noticeable jump over its weekday levels.

As of Day 22, Mirzapur – The Movie has collected Rs. 209.06 crores in India, with Friday contributing Rs. 0.68 crore.

Hanuman Ansh continued its remarkable theatrical run, adding Rs. 2.37 crores to its India net collection on Day 50. The film's latest collection takes its cumulative total to Rs. 283.61 crores, with the movie continuing to attract theatrical business even after completing seven weeks.

Interestingly, the Day 50 collection represents a 10.23% jump over Thursday's Rs. 2.15 crores. While most films experience a significant slowdown deep into their theatrical runs, Hanuman Ansh continues to record sizeable daily collections, allowing its overall total to keep moving upwards.

The film had already established a strong foundation during its initial weeks before maintaining its momentum through subsequent phases of its run. It closed Week 6 at Rs. 241.83 crores and Week 7 at Rs. 281.24 crores, according to Bollywood Hungama.

The addition of Rs. 2.37 crores on Day 50 means that the film has now added another Rs. 2.37 crores to its Week 8 total, taking its overall collection to Rs. 283.61 crores.

The film's continued performance is particularly notable because it has sustained theatrical business well beyond the traditional opening weeks. Its latest Friday number also indicates that the film has been able to maintain a certain level of audience interest even this deep into its theatrical run.

With Saturday and Sunday still to come, the film will now look to build on Friday's growth and add further to its Week 8 total.

Hanuman Ansh has currently collected Rs. 283.61 crores in India after 50 days. The film's next target will be to continue adding to the total as it enters the next phase of its theatrical run.

Daayra continued its theatrical run on Friday, September 25, collecting Rs. 0.09 crore at the India box office. The latest figure takes the film's cumulative India net collection to Rs. 5.34 crores after eight days. The Day 8 collection was 59.09% lower than Thursday's Rs. 0.22 crore. The film has therefore entered its second week with business at a significantly lower level than during the opening phase of its theatrical run.

Daayra had collected Rs. 0.94 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs. 1.41 crore on Saturday and Rs. 1.39 crore on Sunday. The film's opening weekend consequently stood at Rs. 3.77 crores. It subsequently added to its tally during the first week before reaching Rs. 5.34 crores after eight days.

The Friday figure of Rs. 0.09 crore takes the film's second-week total to Rs. 0.09 crore so far. With the second weekend now underway, Saturday and Sunday will provide an opportunity for the film to register some growth over its Friday business.

The film's first weekend had seen a notable jump over its opening-day figure, with Saturday and Sunday contributing the bulk of the initial theatrical collections. Its performance over the second weekend will now determine how much additional business it can generate before entering the latter half of its second week.

At present, Daayra stands at Rs. 5.34 crores in India after eight days. The film added Rs. 0.09 crore on Friday and will now look towards the weekend to build on its current total.

The latest figures put the film's India net collection at Rs. 5.34 crores as it continues its theatrical run.

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer The Vvaan opened at Rs. 7 crores at the India box office on Friday, September 25. The film, which marks the latest theatrical release for both actors, began its box-office journey with a moderate opening-day response across the country.

As per box-office data, The Vvaan recorded 4,766 shows across 1,375 venues on its opening day and registered an overall occupancy of 20.31%. The film witnessed 12.20% occupancy in the morning, which increased to 19.67% in the afternoon. The evening shows recorded 22.91% occupancy, while the night shows improved further to 25.57%.

The film sold 2,06,532 tickets on Day 1, with the evening and night shows indicating a gradual improvement in audience turnout as the day progressed. With Friday contributing Rs. 7 crores, the film's India net collection currently stands at Rs. 7 crores.

The opening weekend will now be crucial for The Vvaan. Saturday and Sunday typically provide films with an opportunity to register significant growth over the opening day, particularly when the first-day business leaves room for expansion. The film will therefore be looking to convert the weekend into a stronger theatrical run.

For Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film's performance will also be closely tracked over the coming days as the weekend collections begin to establish the theatrical trajectory of the film.

At present, The Vvaan has collected Rs. 7 crores in India after Day 1, with the film now heading into its first Saturday.

The Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia led The Vvaan has taken a reasonable start at the box office in India. According to early estimates, the film is looking at an opening day in the range of Rs. 6.50 crore to Rs. 7.50 crore on Friday.

The film has managed to do well in the mass belts, especially the Bihar sector, largely due to the element of Chatth Pooja. The reports are not up to the mark, and the film is expected to show cracks in business over the weekend. The morning and noon shows were suggestive of an Rs 8 crore start, but the word of mouth has curtailed the business to around Rs. 7 crore.

The start is at par with Param Sundari, which was Sidharth's last release, but that's not saying much as the reports are iffy. The national chains are looking to collect in the range of Rs. 3.50 crore, contributing 50 per cent to the total business. The ratio is lower owing to stronger performance in the mass belts.

The Vvaan has high costs, and it ideally had to open in double digits to have things in its favour. It's just that the start at the moment is good for the optics, as it has opened better than all pre-release predictions.

Mirzapur: The Movie continued its third-week run at the box office on Friday, adding Rs. 0.82 crore to its India total. With this, the film's cumulative collection has reached approximately Rs. 208.51 crore.

The latest day saw a 43.06% drop from Thursday, when Mirzapur: The Movie collected Rs. 1.44 crore. The film has naturally slowed down as it moves deeper into its theatrical run, but its overall tally remains comfortably above the Rs. 200 crore mark.

The film crossed the Rs. 200 crore milestone earlier in its run, becoming one of the year's notable theatrical performers. Its second week had also remained healthy, allowing the film to carry substantial momentum into its third week.

The latest Rs. 0.82 crore takes Mirzapur: The Movie past Rs. 208 crore. With the film now entering another weekend, the focus shifts to whether it can use the next two days to arrest the weekday slowdown and add a meaningful chunk to its lifetime total.

For a film that has already crossed the Rs. 200 crore barrier, the remaining theatrical journey will now be about how much further it can stretch its impressive run.

Vibe continued its first-week theatrical run with Rs. 0.83 crore on Wednesday, Day 6. The latest collection takes the film's cumulative India business to approximately Rs. 9.42 crore.

The film witnessed a 20.19% decline from Tuesday, when it collected Rs. 1.04 crore. While the weekday business has come down from the opening weekend levels, the film has managed to keep adding to its overall tally.

Vibe opened with Rs. 1.65 crore on Friday and saw a substantial 46.06% jump on Saturday, collecting Rs. 2.41 crore. Sunday brought another 4.56% increase, with the film earning Rs. 2.52 crore. This took its opening weekend total to Rs. 6.58 crore, according to Bollywood Hungama.

Monday brought a sharp correction, but the film bounced back on Tuesday with a 15.56% increase, collecting Rs. 1.04 crore and crossing the Rs. 8.5 crore mark.

The Wednesday collection of Rs. 0.83 crore keeps Vibe moving towards the Rs. 10 crore mark. With the film now nearing the end of its opening week, the upcoming weekend will determine the extent to which it can build on its initial theatrical run.

Hanuman Ansh continues its remarkable theatrical run even after spending more than six weeks in cinemas. The film collected Rs. 3.43 crore on Wednesday, Day 48, taking its India total to approximately Rs. 279.33 crore.

The latest numbers come after the film had earned Rs. 4.64 crore on its seventh Tuesday. Wednesday therefore saw a 26.08% decline from the previous day. Despite the correction, the film remains on an unusually strong footing this deep into its theatrical run.

Bollywood Hungama had earlier reported that Hanuman Ansh collected Rs. 3.84 crore on its seventh Monday before witnessing a 20.83% jump to Rs. 4.64 crore on Tuesday. The film had also recorded an impressive seventh weekend, with Friday bringing in Rs. 4.66 crore, followed by Rs. 8.66 crore on Saturday and Rs. 12.03 crore on Sunday.

The film's sustained performance has been one of the major box-office stories of the year. We had previously reported that Hanuman Ansh became the No. 1 film at the India box office across all languages on September 1, despite being on Day 26 of its theatrical run.

With the latest Wednesday collection taking the film to roughly Rs. 279.33 crore, Hanuman Ansh is now only around Rs. 20.67 crore away from the Rs. 300 crore milestone. After 48 days in theatres, the film continues to add meaningful numbers to its tally.

Resident Evil continued its theatrical run with a noticeable recovery on Tuesday, with the horror film collecting Rs. 1.64 crore on Day 5. The latest business represents a 15.49% increase over its Rs. 1.42 crore collection on Monday and takes the film’s total India collection to Rs. 11.84 crore.

The film had opened its theatrical run on Friday with Rs. 2.18 crore. It then witnessed a strong 44.04% jump on Saturday, collecting Rs. 3.14 crore. Sunday saw a marginal 2.23% decline, with the film adding Rs. 3.07 crore. This took its opening weekend total to Rs. 8.78 crore.

The transition to the weekdays brought the expected slowdown. Monday saw the film’s collections fall by 53.75% to Rs. 1.42 crore. However, Tuesday brought a welcome reversal in the trend as business climbed back to Rs. 1.64 crore. The film also recorded 3,649 shows across 1,677 venues on Tuesday, with overall occupancy standing at 14.85%, according to Bollywood Hungama's box office data.

The Tuesday performance is significant because the film managed to improve its business despite being in the middle of its opening week. After the sharp Monday correction, a further decline could have put greater pressure on the film's weekday run. Instead, the increase has allowed Resident Evil to inch closer to the Rs. 12 crore mark.

With Rs. 11.84 crore already accumulated, the film is now just Rs. 0.16 crore away from crossing Rs. 12 crore. The focus will now shift to how steadily it can hold its collections through the remainder of the week and whether the Tuesday recovery can translate into sustained business.

Daayra continued its theatrical run with Rs. 0.45 crore on Tuesday, taking its total India collection to Rs. 4.69 crore. The Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer saw a relatively small 4.26% decline from Monday's Rs. 0.47 crore, indicating that the film managed to maintain a similar level of business on its second weekday.

The film began its theatrical journey with Rs. 0.94 crore on Friday. Business then improved substantially on Saturday, when collections jumped 50% to Rs. 1.41 crore. Sunday remained largely stable, with the film collecting Rs. 1.39 crore, a marginal 1.42% decline from Saturday. The opening weekend consequently stood at Rs. 3.74 crore.

The transition to the weekdays, however, resulted in a sharp correction. Daayra collected Rs. 0.47 crore on Monday, marking a 66.19% decline from Sunday. The Monday figure also fell below the Rs. 50 lakh mark, bringing the four-day total to Rs. 4.24 crore.

Tuesday's Rs. 0.45 crore collection was only Rs. 0.02 crore lower than Monday. While the business remained modest, the limited day-on-day movement is a more stable trend than the steep fall witnessed at the start of the weekdays. The film has now added Rs. 0.92 crore across Monday and Tuesday.

With five days completed, Daayra has reached Rs. 4.69 crore and is now just Rs. 0.31 crore away from crossing the Rs. 5 crore mark. The film will need to maintain its weekday business and ideally see some momentum over the coming weekend if it is to build substantially on its current total.

For now, Tuesday has kept the film's collections relatively steady after the significant Monday correction, with the remainder of the first week set to determine the pace of its theatrical run.

Hanuman Ansh continues to display remarkable staying power at the box office, with the film adding another Rs. 4.64 crore on its seventh Tuesday. The latest collection takes its total domestic business to Rs. 275.90 crore, keeping the film firmly on course towards the Rs. 300 crore milestone.

The Tuesday performance comes a day after the film collected Rs. 3.84 crore on its seventh Monday. The latest figure therefore marks a 20.83% increase over Monday, giving the film a welcome boost in its seventh week. The strong hold is particularly notable considering that Hanuman Ansh has now completed 47 days in theatres.

The film's recent run has been anything but ordinary. After collecting Rs. 4.66 crore on its seventh Friday, business jumped 85.84% to Rs. 8.66 crore on Saturday and rose another 38.91% to Rs. 12.03 crore on Sunday. Monday naturally saw a 68.08% correction to Rs. 3.84 crore, but Tuesday's recovery has once again underlined the film's sustained audience interest.

With Rs. 275.90 crore already accumulated, Hanuman Ansh is now just Rs. 24.10 crore away from the Rs. 300 crore mark. Its continued ability to post substantial numbers in the seventh week has made its extended theatrical run a key talking point at the box office.

The coming days will determine how quickly the film can close the remaining gap, but for now, Hanuman Ansh continues to add to its impressive theatrical haul well into its second month.

Daayra had a reasonably steady opening weekend at the box office, but the film witnessed a sharp slowdown on its first Monday. The Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer collected Rs. 0.47 crore on Day 4, taking its total domestic collection to Rs. 4.24 crore.

The film opened its theatrical run with Rs. 0.94 crore on Friday. Business then picked up significantly on Saturday, with collections rising 50% to Rs. 1.41 crore. Daayra maintained that momentum on Sunday, collecting Rs. 1.39 crore. While this represented a marginal 1.42% decline from Saturday, the film managed to close its opening weekend with Rs. 3.74 crore.

However, the transition to the weekdays brought a much steeper fall. On Monday, Daayra collected Rs. 0.47 crore, registering a 66.19% drop compared to Sunday. The Day 4 figure is also nearly half of the film's opening-day business, indicating a significant reduction in audience turnout after the weekend.

With Rs. 4.24 crore in four days, Daayra now faces the challenge of sustaining its collections through the remainder of its first week. The film's Saturday growth had provided some momentum, but the sharp Monday correction means that the weekday trend will be crucial in determining its overall theatrical run.

For now, the film has managed to cross the Rs. 4 crore mark, but with the first Monday falling below Rs. 50 lakh, Daayra will need stronger holds in the coming days to build meaningful momentum at the box office.

However, the arrival of Monday brought a considerable slowdown. Vibe collected Rs. 0.90 crore on its first Monday, marking a steep 64.29% decline compared to Sunday. The Monday business was also 45.45% lower than the film’s opening-day collection, underlining the significant weekday drop.

With Rs. 0.90 crore coming in on Day 4, Vibe has now taken its total domestic collection to Rs. 7.55 crore. The film added Rs. 0.97 crore to its weekend total on Monday, but the sharp fall after the opening weekend will make the business during the remaining weekdays crucial.

The film’s trajectory so far has been marked by strong growth through the weekend followed by a pronounced Monday correction. With the first four days now in the books, Vibe will need to maintain stability over the next few days to build on its Rs. 7.55 crore total and extend its theatrical run.

Starring Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Divyendu, the film has managed to reach the coveted milestone in 17 days of its release, making it the third-fastest film to enter the Rs. 200 crore club in 2026.

The achievement further underlines the strong theatrical pull of the Mirzapur franchise, which has successfully translated its popularity from the streaming space to the big screen.

Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Divyendu make their debut in the Rs. 200 crore club for actors with Mirzapur The Movie. For the trio, the achievement adds another notable chapter to their careers, particularly given the ensemble-driven nature of the franchise and the strong recall value of their respective characters.

Mirzapur The Movie has maintained a steady run through its theatrical journey, with audiences turning up for the continuation of the much-loved world of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Tripathi.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has achieved a historic milestone at the Indian box office. The Hollywood biggie has crossed the coveted Rs. 500 crore mark in India during its sixth weekend, becoming the first-ever Hollywood film to breach the milestone in the country.

The film, which opened to a record-breaking response, has maintained remarkable momentum through its theatrical run. Despite entering its sixth weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued to attract audiences, collecting Rs. 43 lakh on Friday, Rs. 72 lakh on Saturday and Rs. 83 lakh on Sunday. With this, the film's Weekend 6 total stands at Rs. 1.98 crore, taking its overall India nett collection to Rs. 500.21 crore.

The film's journey to the Rs. 500 crore milestone has been particularly noteworthy. Released on Thursday, its extended first week of eight days brought in a massive Rs. 336 crore. It followed that up with Rs. 111.78 crore in Week 2, while Week 3 contributed another Rs. 31.70 crore. The film continued to hold remarkably well in the subsequent weeks, adding Rs. 12.46 crore in Week 4 and Rs. 6.29 crore in Week 5.

What makes the achievement even more significant is the film's ability to sustain its theatrical run well beyond the initial frenzy surrounding its release. The steady collections across six weekends underline the franchise's strong pull among Indian audiences.

With Rs. 500.21 crore in India nett collections across all versions, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now firmly established itself as an all-time blockbuster in the Indian market and has set a new benchmark for Hollywood releases.

The Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan starrer Haiwaan was released with a lot of expectations due to its casting, thriller genre, four-day weekend in Maharashtra and Priyadarshan’s association as director. However, the opening was underwhelming and the film never managed to pick up over the weekend, possibly due to poor word of mouth. Competition from Mirzapur The Movie and Hanuman Ansh may have also played a part.

Haiwaan collected Rs. 2.79 crores on Day 1, which was below the expected Rs. 3-4 crore range. On Saturday, the earnings dropped to Rs. 2.13 crores, which was a telling sign. The thriller fell further on Sunday, collecting a mere Rs. 1.58 crores.

After such a performance over the weekend, it was evident that Haiwaan would fall below the Rs. 1 crore mark on the weekdays. And that’s exactly what happened. Haiwaan earned Rs. 64 lakhs on Monday, Rs. 59 lakhs on Tuesday, Rs. 47 lakhs on Wednesday and Rs. 48 lakhs on Thursday.

As a result, its first-week collections stand at Rs. 8.68 crores. There was some hope that it would find an audience in its second week, allowing its lifetime collections to at least cross the Rs. 10 crore mark. Sadly, that now seems highly unlikely. On its second Friday, September 18, Haiwaan collected a shocking Rs. 66,838, sending shockwaves across the trade and industry. In other words, the film crashed by a massive 98.62% on its second Friday compared to its first Thursday.

On Friday, September 11, we were among the first to report that advance booking for Avengers Endgame: Encore had commenced in India. In no time, its tickets started selling like hot cakes. While the film was expected to have a decent opening, the advance trends now make it clear that it is all set for a huge first day.

As per data accessed by Bollywood Hungama, as of 12 noon on September 15, Avengers Endgame: Encore has sold around 45,000 tickets. More than a week is still left for its release, with the superhero saga arriving in cinemas on September 25. Going by the present momentum, ticket sales are expected to breach the 1 lakh mark soon.

What’s interesting to note is that Avengers Endgame: Encore is a re-release and yet, it is behaving like a new release. The trade and industry are now excited to see whether it can break all re-release records and emerge as the biggest re-release opener ever in India.

The re-release day 1 record is held by Baahubali: The Epic, the remastered, combined edition of both Baahubali films. It collected around Rs. 9 crores in India. This is followed by Pawan Kalyan-starrer Gabbar Singh, which collected around Rs. 5 crores. Thalapathy Vijay’s Ghilli, Mahesh Babu’s Murari and Sanam Teri Kasam collected around Rs. 4 crores each. Avengers Endgame: Encore should comfortably cross the day 1 earnings during the re-release of Ghilli, Murari and Sanam Teri Kasam, as well as Gabbar Singh. All eyes are on whether it can cross Baahubali: The Epic, or even cross the Rs. 10 crore mark.

One reason for the immense demand for Avengers Endgame: Encore is the recent blockbuster success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has once again boosted interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Moreover, Avengers Endgame: Encore will include new material along with an exclusive look at the next Marvel film, Avengers: Doomsday. Earlier this year, Disney launched Infinity Vision, a new certification for Premium Large Format (PLF) cinemas. The certification is given to auditoriums that meet certain standards related to screen size, projection quality, brightness and sound. Avengers Endgame: Encore will be one of the first films to play on Infinity Vision-certified screens, ahead of Avengers: Doomsday in December.

While the regular screens will include new footage and a unique opening, they will not feature the new post-credits scene directly linked to Avengers: Doomsday. That scene will be exclusive to IMAX and Infinity Vision-certified screens.

The national chains are looking to collect around Rs. 1.90 crore on the first day, and this is a dismal result. The start is on the lines of Selfiee and Sarfira, which is not a great list to be a part of. Surprisingly, this ranks among the lowest openers of the year, and that's despite a hefty budget and strong face value.

Mirzapur: The Movie has achieved another major milestone at the worldwide box office. The Excel Entertainment production has crossed the coveted Rs. 200 crore mark globally, with its worldwide gross collection standing at Rs. 210.05 crore, as per the latest figures.

The film, which brings the hugely popular Mirzapur franchise from the streaming space to the big screen, has managed to translate its established fan base into strong theatrical footfalls. The worldwide total comprises Rs. 173.67 crore gross from India and Rs. 36.38 crore from the overseas markets.

In India, Mirzapur: The Movie has accumulated Rs. 145.88 crore in net collections, putting the film firmly among the notable theatrical performers of 2026. The difference between the domestic net and gross also takes its India gross to Rs. 173.67 crore, with the overseas contribution further taking the worldwide tally past the Rs. 200 crore milestone.

The achievement is particularly significant considering that Mirzapur originated as a streaming series and built its popularity over multiple seasons. Taking characters and a world already familiar to audiences and giving them a theatrical continuation was always a sizeable gamble, but the box office response indicates that the franchise has retained considerable pull beyond the OTT platform.

Headlined by Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu, the film continues the franchise’s familiar power struggles and larger-than-life confrontations while expanding the story onto the big screen. The theatrical performance also underlines the growing appetite for established streaming properties to make the transition into cinema.

With Rs. 210.05 crore worldwide, Mirzapur: The Movie has now entered the Rs. 200 crore club, adding another strong commercial success to Excel Entertainment’s filmography. With its theatrical run still progressing, the film will now look to build further on this momentum and push its worldwide tally higher.

On September 4, the English version of Yash-starrer Toxic was released in India. Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report that the film collected just Rs. 1.40 lakhs approximately. Just 450 tickets were sold across the country. The news went viral in no time. We now bring you a report on how the English version of Toxic fared over the week.

The first day of release turned out to be the best day for the English version of Toxic. The film collected Rs. 1.38 lakhs on Friday from 11 shows across four cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru, Gurugram and Noida. On Saturday, the showcasing was reduced to seven shows in three cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad – and the collections fell to Rs. 78,774. Even on Sunday, when the film continued to play in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, there was no weekend jump as the earnings slipped further to Rs. 70,460.

The situation worsened considerably on Monday, with Toxic crashing to just Rs. 15,034. Tuesday proved to be the film’s worst day, as the English version managed to collect a mere Rs. 3,125.

There was a marginal improvement on Wednesday, when the collections rose to Rs. 5,699, before falling again to Rs. 4,655 on Thursday. While the film was playing in Gurugram and Bengaluru on Monday, its showcasing was restricted to Bengaluru alone for the remaining weekdays, underlining the extremely poor demand for the English version.

As expected, owing to the extremely poor turnout, the English version of Toxic has been discontinued from Friday, September 11. What makes its performance all the more shocking is that Toxic was shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, while it was dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Despite being an original-language version, the English edition found virtually no takers, not just in India but Overseas as well. As a result, the recovery from the English version has been negligible.

The English version of Toxic has a tighter narrative. This is because its runtime is 176.52 minutes. In other words, Toxic's English version is 2 hours, 56 minutes and 52 seconds. The rest of the versions of the Yash-starrer have a run time of 194.12 minutes, that is, 3 hours, 14 minutes and 12 seconds.

The first week collections of Toxic’s English version:

Friday: Rs. 1,38,295 Saturday: Rs. 78,774 Sunday: Rs. 70,460 Monday: Rs. 15,034 Tuesday: Rs. 3,125 Wednesday: Rs. 5,699 Thursday: Rs. 4,655

TOTAL: Rs. 3,16,042

The Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan-led Haiwaan has witnessed a subdued response in advance booking so far. Going by the current pre-sales trend, the Priyadarshan-directed thriller is staring at an opening of under Rs. 5 crores, with the top national cinema chains expected to close advance sales at fewer than 10,000 tickets. The film will now need strong spot bookings and favourable word of mouth to make up for the lacklustre pre-release response.

The start is extremely poor, and the film will have to rely on the audience word of mouth, as that can help it show gains on the weekend and then clock a Monday higher than Friday.

But even for a miracle trending, it's a must for Haiwaan to open around the Rs. 5 crore mark, which at the moment looks tough. The film is a remake of a Malayalam film, and that has also dented the theatrical potential.

The producers have not put a lot of money into promoting the film, probably owing to the disastrous performance of Toxic. The eyes are now on word of mouth, which hopefully should land in favour of the film, leading to a spike in biz on Saturday and Sunday.

The Mirzapur phenomenon has officially translated into big-screen numbers. Mirzapur – The Movie has delivered a strong opening weekend at the box office, collecting Rs. 90.95 crore and emerging as the 4th highest opening weekend grosser of 2026.

The film has managed to put itself ahead of several notable theatrical releases this year, most significantly Awarapan 2. The Emraan Hashmi-led action drama had opened to Rs. 81.50 crore over its first weekend and had, until now, occupied the fifth spot on the list. Mirzapur – The Movie has now pushed it down to sixth place, underlining the strength of the franchise and the curiosity surrounding its theatrical debut.

What makes the number interesting is that Mirzapur has traditionally been identified with streaming rather than theatrical cinema. The series built an incredibly loyal following over its seasons, with Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Tripathi becoming pop-culture favourites. Bringing that world to theatres was therefore always going to be an experiment, but the opening weekend suggests that the fan base was more than willing to make the jump from the small screen to the big screen.

At Rs. 90.95 crore, Mirzapur – The Movie is now comfortably ahead of Awarapan 2, while still having some distance to cover before entering the top four. The list is currently headed by Dhurandhar The Revenge, which delivered a staggering Rs. 443 crore, followed by Border 2 at Rs. 129.89 crore, while Toxic occupies third position with Rs. 116.48 crore.

Below Mirzapur – The Movie and Awarapan 2 are Dhamaal 4 with Rs. 64.35 crore, Welcome To The Jungle with Rs. 63.47 crore, The Odyssey (English) with Rs. 56.85 crore, and Bhooth Bangla with Rs. 54.50 crore, Cocktail 2 with Rs. 46.76 cr and Alpha at Rs. 33.48 cr.

For Mirzapur – The Movie, however, the bigger story is not just the ranking. It is the fact that a franchise born and nurtured on streaming has now made a convincing theatrical statement. The real test begins from Monday, but for now, Guddu Pandit and company have plenty to celebrate.

Top 10 Highest Opening Weekend Grossers of 2026 Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 443 cr Border 2 - Rs. 129.89 cr Toxic - Rs. 116.48 cr Mirzapur – The Movie - Rs. 90.95 cr Awarapan 2 - Rs. 81.50 cr Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 64.35 cr Welcome To The Jungle - Rs. 63.47 cr Bhooth Bangla -Rs. 54.50 cr Cocktail 2 - Rs. 46.76 cr Alpha - Rs. 33.48 cr
