Short answer: about ₹176.5 crore net in India over its opening weekend (₹211.8 crore gross), and about ₹272.8 crore gross worldwide in three days, according to trade tracker Sacnilk as reported by DNA India. It's Ajay Devgn's biggest opening weekend ever.
Day-by-day (India net)
| Day | Date | Collection |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Fri, 2 Oct (Gandhi Jayanti) | ₹62 crore |
| Day 2 | Sat, 3 Oct | ₹53.5 crore |
| Day 3 | Sun, 4 Oct | ₹61 crore |
| Opening weekend | | ₹176.5 crore |
- Sunday grew about 14% on Saturday, with average occupancy near 65%.
- Overseas: about ₹61 crore gross over the weekend, including about ₹20 crore on Sunday.
- Next milestone: it's expected to cross ₹300 crore worldwide in the coming days.
How big is that?
- It's the second-biggest weekend for an Indian film in 2026, behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge, and the second-biggest Hindi opening day of the year.
- Its ₹61 crore Sunday is just above Pathaan's first Sunday (₹60.75 crore) on Koimoi's list of Bollywood's biggest, behind Dhurandhar 2 (₹121 crore), Jawan (₹80.1 crore) and Animal (₹70.69 crore).
Why the numbers vary
Trackers (Sacnilk, Koimoi and others) publish early estimates that get revised, and some quote net (after taxes) while others quote gross. Early Day 1 estimates, for example, ranged from ₹62 crore to ₹66.75 crore. Official producer figures, if released, can differ again.
