Mirzapur The Movie, starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyendu Sharma, Jitendra Kumar, and others, is all set for its theatrical release this week. Yes, the film is arriving in theaters on September 4, and all Mirzapur fans are excited to their core. Being the only major Bollywood release of the week, it is expected to open strongly at the Indian box office, with a start of above 10 crore guaranteed. But will it make it into Bollywood’s top 10 openers of 2026? Let’s discuss it below!
Big screen debut after a cult web series run
The Hindi web series, which debuted in 2018, built a loyal fan base across the country with its bold, raw storytelling. From its characters to its iconic dialogues, everything went viral in the meme space. Riding on the show’s immense popularity, the film has generated anticipation and genuine buzz among moviegoers.
Solo release and Janmashtami to boost day 1 collections
While Mirzapur The Movie has good-to-decent buzz in the big cities, it is expected to do well in tier-2 and tier-3 centers as well, given the film’s overall feel. It’s a solo release this week, and with the benefit of the Janmashtami holiday, it’s in a position to register a solid start at the Indian box office. With positive word-of-mouth, Toxic (Hindi) would have impacted its run, but that won’t be the case now.

Likely to enter Bollywood’s top 10 openers of 2026
Although advance bookings will provide a clearer picture, Mirzapur The Movie is currently aiming for a day 1 net collection of 13-17 crore at the Indian box office. With this, it’ll comfortably enter Bollywood’s top 10 openers of 2026.
To enter the top 10 openers of 2026, the crime thriller must beat Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai (8.65 crore), which will be easily accomplished. So, an entry to Bollywood’s top 10 openers of the year is guaranteed.
