‘Mirzapur: The Movie’ Box Office: Every Record Achieved By Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu’s Film In Its First Weekend
“Mirzapur: The Movie,” the theatrical format of a web show, has shaken the industry with its phenomenal opening weekend. While the anticipation was already high among cinegoers, the poor performance of “Toxic” gave an additional benefit to the film, as there was no competition at the ticket window. As “Mirzapur: The Movie” has already emerged as a ‘box office hit,’ here’s a look at the benchmark it achieved in its first weekend.
Fourth Biggest Hindi Opener of 2026
With the first-day figure of ₹25.15 crore, the film became the fourth-biggest Hindi opener of the year after “Dhurandhar 2” (₹144.55 crore), “Toxic” Hindi version (55 crore) and “Border 2” (₹30 crore). It has beaten biggies like “Awarapan 2,” “Dhamaal 4” and “Welcome To The Jungle” to achieve this feat.
Fourth Highest-First Weekend Grosser of the year
The action-crime thriller earned ₹93.75 crore in its first three days and became the fourth-highest Hindi opening weekend grosser of the year. The first three spots are grabbed by “Dhurandhar 2” (₹433.04 crore) 4-day weekend, “Toxic” (₹129.50 crore) 5-day weekend and “Border 2” (₹120 crore).
