The biopic ‘Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story’ earned a slight uptick in collections on its 15th day, with Friday’s earnings edging higher, according to trade reports.
The courtroom drama ‘Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story’, starring Rajkummar Rao and directed by A. K. S. Ramesh, completed its fifteenth day in Indian theatres this week. The film, which chronicles the life of famed prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, opened to moderate expectations across multiplexes and single‑screen venues.
Trade sources reported that the film’s net collection on Friday showed a marginal increase compared with the previous day, indicating a slight revival in audience interest as the weekend approached. While the overall earnings remain modest, the uptick suggests that word‑of‑mouth and media coverage are sustaining footfall.
Industry analysts note that biopics often experience a gradual build‑up, and ‘Prahaar’ appears to be following that pattern. The film’s performance is being watched closely as it competes with other releases in the same slot, and producers hope the momentum will carry it through the remainder of its theatrical run.
The modest rise on day 15 also reflects the broader trend of regional audiences supporting content‑driven cinema, especially when anchored by a recognized star like Rao. Further updates on the film’s cumulative gross are expected as the weekend progresses.
