Its opening weekend netted around ₹8-10 crore, with Day 1 at a modest **₹0.50-0.75 crore** after late-evening starts.[1][4][7] By the end of Week 1, it racked up **₹19.45-22.9 crore**, showing steady holds despite a 12% drop on second Friday (₹1.75-2.75 crore).[1][2][3] The real surge came over the second weekend: Day 9 (second Saturday) brought in **₹3.75 crore**, pushing totals to **₹29.40 crore**.[3] Day 10 added more, hitting **₹29.50-32.68 crore** net with **₹34.56 crore** gross across 32,520 shows.[6] By Day 11, it comfortably crossed **₹32.87 crore** India net, recovering over **90%** of its **₹28 crore** budget.[2][5] Worldwide, it's at **₹28.86-34.8 crore** gross, with minimal overseas at **₹0.65 crore**.[4][6] What makes this run engaging? **Resilient word-of-mouth** and strong Southern occupancy (like 80% in Chennai on Day 9) fueled night shows and weekend jumps.[3][6] Hindi circuits held at 15% occupancy, signaling family audiences drawn to its bold storytelling on real-life inspirations. Compared to 2026 peers, it's poised as Bollywood's **second successful film** this year, eyeing "hit" status at ₹56 crore net.[2]
