Ustaad Bhagat Singh has wrapped up its extended opening weekend with a solid 64.50 crore at the Indian box office. The film kicked off with a bang but saw a steady decline over the next few days, raising some eyebrows about its long-term prospects.
On its opening day, the film raked in about 35.50 crore, which was pretty much expected given that Pawan Kalyan was in the lead role. However, that initial excitement didn’t quite last. The second and third days brought in around 10.50 crore each, and by Sunday, the collections dipped further to nearly 8 crore. This trend suggests that the film didn’t experience the kind of growth one would hope for over the weekend.

Most of the earnings have come from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it has pulled in over 57 crore. Other areas like Karnataka and the rest of India have contributed only modest amounts, indicating that the film is heavily reliant on its home turf.

Mar 24, 2026Directed by Harish Shankar, the film was anticipated to do better over the weekend, especially since there wasn’t much competition at first. However, the audience reaction seems to be lukewarm, which is impacting the number of people heading to theaters.
Another element affecting the film's performance is the strong showing of Dhurandhar The Revenge, which is attracting viewers even in Telugu-speaking regions. This has led to a decrease in the number of screens and overall occupancy for Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
Looking ahead, how the film performs during the weekdays will be crucial. If it keeps dropping at this rate, reaching higher milestones could be a challenge. The total earnings for the first week will provide a clearer picture of its final standing at the box office.
