Mirzapur: The Movie collects Rs 25.15 crore on day 1

Mirzapur: The Movie collected Rs 25.15 crore net in India on its opening day, ranking as the fourth-biggest Hindi opener of 2026.

The film posted a theatrical occupancy of 42.81% on September 4, a strong result for its theatrical debut.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh attributed the response to the Mirzapur franchise’s loyal fan base turning up in full strength.

Mirzapur trails Dhurandhar 2 (around Rs 99 crore), Toxic (around Rs 55 crore) and Border 2 (Rs 30 crore) among this year’s top openers.

The Janmashtami holiday and a weak second Friday for Toxic, at Rs 1.75 crore, both boosted Mirzapur’s opening-day numbers.

The film’s theatrical occupancy stood at 42.81% on opening day, a solid figure for a Hindi-language release competing in a crowded late-2026 slate.

Mirzapur: The Movie marks one of the more high-profile attempts to convert a hit streaming franchise into a full theatrical release, following the show’s three successful seasons on Amazon Prime Video.

The film stars the franchise’s original ensemble, including Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit and Divyenndu as Munna Bhaiya, alongside newer additions such as Ravi Kishan.

Analysts expect the film’s momentum to carry into the weekend, aided by the absence of major new theatrical competition in its release window.

The film released in both Hindi and Telugu on September 4, 2026, expanding its reach beyond the franchise’s traditional Hindi-speaking streaming audience.

The film’s opening places it fourth among 2026’s biggest openers, behind Dhurandhar 2 at roughly Rs 99 crore, Toxic at roughly Rs 55 crore and Border 2 at Rs 30 crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the response reflected the strength of the Mirzapur franchise’s fan base, noting that loyal viewers had turned up in full strength for the theatrical debut.

The film also benefited from the Janmashtami holiday, which added to footfall on its opening day.
