On its third day, Mirzapur The Movie collected over ₹90 crore at the box office, driven by a strong Sunday turnout. The film stars Pankaj Tripathi and Ali Fazal in lead roles.
The film, released as a cinematic extension of the popular web series, opened to enthusiastic audiences across multiplexes and single-screen theatres. Trade analysts noted that the opening weekend momentum carried into Sunday, pushing the cumulative three‑day tally past the ₹90‑crore mark.
Pankaj Tripathi, reprising his iconic role as Kaleen Bhaiya, and Ali Fazal, who plays Guddu Pandit, received praise for their performances, which contributed to the strong footfall. Social media buzz and positive word‑of‑mouth further amplified audience interest.
Distributors reported that the film’s collections were particularly strong in metropolitan centres such as Mumbai, Delhi‑NCR and Bengaluru, while smaller towns also showed steady numbers. The success has positioned Mirzapur The Movie among the higher‑grossing releases of the year so far.
Industry experts attribute the bumper Sunday to the film’s blend of action, drama and the loyal fan base of the original series. They anticipate that the momentum could sustain through the weekdays, potentially taking the total toward the ₹150‑crore bracket.
The production house has not yet announced any sequel plans, but the box office response has sparked discussions about expanding the Mirzapur franchise onto the big screen. Trade bodies are monitoring the film’s performance for its impact on regional exhibition circuits.
