Upendra’s UI is on the verge of ending its theatrical run, and the overall outcome at the worldwide box office hasn’t been good so far. The way it started, the film was expected to perform well for at least 2-3 weeks, but unfortunately, it started faltering during the opening week itself. It couldn’t enjoy the momentum of the Christmas and New Year holidays, and now, it’s going to wrap up much below the 50 crore mark. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of 18 days!
Written and directed by Upendra, the Kannada dystopian sci-fi biggie was released theatrically on December 20, 2024. Upon its release, the film was praised for its unique concept and narration, but among audiences, it couldn’t attract many footfalls. The complexity of the content restricted its reach, and eventually, it failed to make it big. Also, it faced competition from Kichcha Sudeep’s Max after the first few days.
In India, UI started off well by earning 6.25 crores but couldn’t sustain the pace. On the third Monday, the collections came to as low as 15 lakh, taking the overall total to 32.70 crore net at the Indian box office after 18 days, as per Sacnilk. Including taxes, it stands at 38.58 crore gross so far.
