Mirzapur: The Movie is maintaining a strong momentum at the box office after delivering an impressive opening weekend. Despite the challenge of bringing an OTT-familiar audience back to theatres, the film has managed to turn the popular franchise into a successful theatrical outing.
The film recorded a remarkable hold on its first Monday, collecting around Rs. 17 crore nett in India. While the number is lower than its Rs. 28 crore nett opening day, the Monday performance is particularly impressive because the first-day collections benefited from the Janmashtami holiday. In that context, retaining a double-digit figure on the first working day indicates strong audience interest.
The Monday hold is also reportedly stronger than that of Dhamaal 4, another recent theatrical success. The trend has given the film a major boost as it enters the crucial weekdays.
Adding to the momentum, the makers have introduced discounted ticket prices on Tuesday, which has resulted in a significant surge in advance bookings. The film has already crossed Rs. 114 crore nett in India, and Tuesday is expected to record an even stronger collection than Monday.
The next major test will come on Wednesday. In recent times, some films that benefited from Tuesday ticket discounts have witnessed a sharper drop on Wednesday. If Mirzapur: The Movie manages to maintain a healthy hold despite this factor, the film could comfortably strengthen its position as a superhit and potentially emerge as a blockbuster.
