Mirzapur The Movie box office collection day 1 (updated live): Gangster saga takes a running start, mints ₹9 crore

Mirzapur The Movie box office collection day 1: The gangster saga is set to rival the opening day collections of hits like Saiyaara and Awarapan 2.

Mirzapur The Movie box office collection day 1: The Mirzapur juggernaut is here. The experiment was new, and hence, the trade was tentative. Can a web series, no matter how popular, translate into a film that people would want to pay for and go watch in theatres? Mirzapur has answered that, and how. The film has taken a roaring start at the box office, giving Bollywood its biggest ever non-star-led opening day.

Mirzapur The Movie box office update by 3 PM

The Mirzapur movie was expected to open well ever since its first teaser was released earlier this year. But even its most ardent supporters were surprised by how well it has done, particularly in UP, Bihar, and Delhi, the centres traditionally open to mass action. Last week, most trade experts estimated an opening of ₹18-20 crore for the film, but they eventually revised their estimates upwards. According to Sacnilk, Mirzapur The Movie has earned ₹9.35 crore net by 3 PM on its opening day. This is breakneck pace. The morning shows recorded footfalls of around 26%, a healthy figure for a film of this scale. But given that the reviews are positive, the film is expected to see an upswing in footfall for evening and night shows.

Mirzapur: The Movie was released in Hindi and a Telugu dub. But the latter has largely drawn a blank so far, earning under ₹10 lakh. The bulk of the earnings have come from the original Hindi version, as was expected.

Mirzapur set to trump Saiyaara, Awarapan 2

Normally, a ₹25+ crore opening in Hindi is the domain of the A-listers or select pan-India stars. Very few actors, apart from the three Khans, Akshay Kumar, and Hrithik Roshan, have managed this consistently. Mirzapur will put the likes of Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu in this league. As things stand, Mirzapur is set to cross ₹25 crore on its opening day. This means it will outgross recent sleeper hits such as Saiyaara ( ₹22 crore) and Awarapan 2 ( ₹21.50 crore).
