Assi Box Office Day 1 (Early Trends): Only 5% Of Taapsee Pannu’s Biggest Opener, Still Enters Top 10 Openings Of Her Career!

Anubhav Sinha and Taapsee Pannu’s Assi might be making noise in the theaters, but the noise has not translated into validating numbers at the ticket windows, at least on the opening day. Despite good word-of-mouth, the film could not manage to enter the top 5 Bollywood openers of 2026. In fact, it seems to have lost the opening battle to Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur’s Do Deewane Seher Mein as well!

Enters Taapsee Pannu’s Top 10 Openers!

Despite collecting only a fraction of her biggest hits, the film has found a spot among Taapsee Pannu’s biggest openers. In fact, the estimates suggest that with Anubhav Sinha’s film, Taapsee has already delivered the tenth biggest opening of her career, replacing Saand Ki Aankh’s 48 lakh!

Assi Box Office Day 1 Estimates

As per the early trends, Assi managed to register an opening of 1.2 – 1.5 crore on February 20, Friday. The solo-led, gritty drama, in fact, registered a modest occupancy of 7.38% on its first day in the theaters. The film also opened better than Taapsee and Anubhav Sinha’s last outing, Mulk, which opened at 1 crore at the box office!
