The much-anticipated Telugu action drama Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan, has opened to a disappointing response at the box office. Despite strong pre-release buzz and decent occupancies, the film failed to convert interest into big numbers on Day 1.
Let’s take a detailed look at the film’s opening day performance across India and overseas.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh Day 1 Box Office Collection Worldwide
On its opening day, Ustaad Bhagat Singh managed to collect around ₹40 crore gross worldwide, which is considered underwhelming for a star-driven film of this scale.
- Worldwide Collection: ₹40.00 Cr
- India Gross Collection: ₹35.00 Cr
- Overseas Collection: USD 550,000
The overseas earnings remained modest, contributing only a small share to the overall total.
India Box Office Performance
In the domestic market, the film earned approximately ₹35 crore gross. While the numbers are decent, they fall short when compared to recent big-ticket releases.
The film performed best in its home markets but struggled to make a strong impact in other regions.
Territory-Wise Collection Breakdown
Here’s how Ustaad Bhagat Singh performed across different regions in India:
- Andhra Pradesh & Telangana: ₹31.50 Cr
- Andhra: ₹17.50 Cr
- Nizam: ₹9.50 Cr
- Ceded: ₹4.50 Cr
- Karnataka: ₹2.75 Cr
- Tamil Nadu & Kerala: ₹0.40 Cr
- Rest of India: ₹0.35 Cr
The majority of the film’s earnings came from the Telugu-speaking regions, with limited contribution from other territories.
Overseas Box Office Collection
The film had a relatively low turnout in international markets:
- United States: USD 375,000
- Rest of World: USD 175,000
- Total Overseas: USD 550,000
Compared to recent big releases, these numbers indicate a weak global opening.
Comparison With Previous Film
When compared to Pawan Kalyan’s previous release They Call Him OG, the opening of Ustaad Bhagat Singh looks significantly smaller.
They Call Him OG reportedly opened at around ₹131 crore worldwide, making the new film’s ₹40 crore debut appear underwhelming in comparison.
Word of Mouth and Future Prospects
The film has received average word-of-mouth from audiences, which has already impacted its box office performance. However, upcoming holidays like Eid could provide some boost over the weekend.
Still, the film will need strong growth in the coming days to recover and improve its overall box office standing.
Disclaimer
