Mirzapur, the gritty crime drama featuring Pankaj Tripathi and Ravi Kishan, opened on Friday to an impressive ₹25 crore in its first day of theatrical release. The film surpassed the previous opening‑day record for a Hindi movie, drawing large crowds across multiplexes and single screens alike.
The strong start is attributed to the film’s intense storyline and the star power of its lead actors, who have been praised for their performances in earlier projects. Distributors and exhibitors reported high occupancy rates, especially in metropolitan markets where the film’s genre resonates with audiences.
Industry analysts note that Mirzapur’s opening figures position it as a potential blockbuster, with expectations of sustained earnings in the coming weeks. The film’s success also highlights the growing appetite for regional crime thrillers in mainstream Hindi cinema.
While the exact total collections for the weekend are yet to be announced, the first‑day revenue indicates a promising trajectory for the film’s overall run.
