Box Office Report: ‘Mirzapur: The Movie’ Beats ‘Awarapan 2,’ ‘Bhooth Bangla’ and ‘Dhamaal 4’ To Become Fourth Biggest Hindi Opener of 2026
“Mirzapur: The Movie,” headlined by Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu, has surpassed all expectations, registering a mega opening at the box office on its release day. Despite no major faces or popular music, the film attracted impressive footfall, driven by the popularity of the web show, which has had a successful three-season run.
