Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead role, has dropped to its knees at the Indian box office at the beginning of its weekday run. Due to the actor’s stardom, the film got a good start on the board, but due to mixed-to-poor word of mouth, it declined significantly from the second day onward. As expected, on the first Monday, day 5, the film has literally crashed, indicating a premature end of the theatrical run. Keep reading for a detailed collection report!
Unlike Pawan’s last movie, OG, this one had much lower buzz and was solely dependent on the actor’s stardom. Being a regular commercial entertainer, there was less chance of securing positive reactions from critics, and that’s exactly what happened. However, the biggest shock was that the film received mixed to negative reactions from even the Powerstar’s fans, resulting in highly disappointing numbers.
How much did Ustaad Bhagat Singh earn at the Indian box office in 5 days?
On the first Monday, day 5, Ustaad Bhagat Singh earned an estimated 1.96 crore. Since the opening day was a holiday (Ugadi), the comparison is with day 2’s 9 crore, which shows a brutal 78.22% drop. Even compared with the first Sunday, day 4’s 7.5 crore, the film displayed a huge 73.86% or 74% drop. Such collections clearly seal the fate of the Pawan Kalyan starrer as a major failure.
