The popularity of the web series 'Mirzapur' was demonstrated by the recently released theatrical film 'Mirzapur: The Movie'. Released on Friday, the film attracted audience attention thanks to its recognizable characters and strong fan community. On its first day of release, it received extremely positive reviews from the public.
'Mirzapur: The Movie' started with box office collections of 25.75 crore rupees, which was one of the highest opening figures in the careers of the film's leading actors, including Pankaj Tripathi, Divyendu Sharma, and Ali Fazal. Positive word-of-mouth contributed to the film's growing popularity on the second day, which was Saturday.
According to Sakencode data, on the second day, the film collected a net income of 31 crore rupees, showing a 20% increase, while the cinema occupancy rate was around 50%. The total net income over two days reached 56.75 crore rupees. Approximately 11 thousand shows have been launched across the country. As for the worldwide gross, the film has already earned 78.45 crore rupees.
The release of the 'Mirzapur' series into cinemas has been a significant success for the creators, considering its status as one of the largest projects on the OTT platform. According to available data, the project budget is estimated at approximately 250 crore rupees. Therefore, to break even, the film needs to collect 300–350 crore rupees, and the creators have a chance to achieve this goal if the collection pace continues over the next two weeks.
Comparing the collections with other major projects, it is noted that Pankaj Tripathi has only surpassed the 100 crore rupee mark with the film OMG 2. Ali Fazal and Divyendu Sharma have not yet reached this figure. However, the current collection pace and the impression made by 'Mirzapur: The Movie' suggest that they will soon receive their first film with 100 crore in box office collections.
