Mirzapur – The Movie continues to defy the usual box-office logic for a film in its fourth week, jumping 91.18% on Saturday to push its India nett collection past the Rs 210 crore mark.
The film collected Rs 1.30 crore on its 23rd day, up sharply from Friday's Rs 0.68 crore, taking its cumulative India nett total to Rs 210.44 crore, according to trade estimates reported by Bollywood Hungama.
The sharp Saturday rebound came after a relatively muted Friday, when the film's daily business had slipped below the Rs 1 crore mark. Trade observers note that the recovery indicates the title retains enough audience pull to benefit from the weekend period, even this far into its theatrical run.
Holding its own
Now into its fourth week in cinemas, the film is operating in a market where newer releases are competing for screens and show timings. Despite that pressure, it has managed to keep adding to its total and remains a relevant theatrical title — a rare feat for a film at this stage of its run.
What to watch next
The key question now is whether Sunday can deliver another increase, or at least hold Saturday's gains. A stable weekend would help the film consolidate its position above Rs 210 crore and extend its run further into the coming week.
Starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu, Mirzapur – The Movie has emerged as one of the notable theatrical performers of the current season, with its weekend-driven legs keeping it in the conversation long after its opening phase.
