The Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer 'Daayra' has crossed the ₹4 crore mark in its third day of release, maintaining a steady upward trajectory.
The Hindi-language drama 'Daayra', featuring Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran, opened in theatres on 15 September and has shown a consistent rise in earnings. By the end of its third day, the film had amassed a total of ₹4 crore at the box office, according to reports from the trade press. This figure represents a modest increase over the cumulative earnings of the first two days, which were reported to be around ₹3.5 crore.
The steady climb suggests that the film is resonating with audiences, especially in the key markets of Mumbai and Delhi. Industry analysts note that a third‑day collection above ₹4 crore is a positive sign for a mid‑budget release, indicating healthy word‑of‑mouth and repeat viewership.
While the film has not yet entered the top‑grossing tier, its performance is considered a success for the production house, which had modest expectations for the run. The film’s distributors are optimistic that the momentum will continue into the weekend, potentially pushing the total earnings beyond ₹5 crore.
'Daayra' will continue to screen in multiplexes and single screens across the country, with the next week’s collection expected to reflect the impact of any promotional activities and holiday viewership. The film’s trajectory will be closely watched by stakeholders looking for a steady performer in the current cinematic landscape.
