Ayushmann Khurrana’s Udta Teer has crossed the Rs 60 crore worldwide milestone on Day 10. The result, while not a breakout, matters because it shows the film is holding rather than collapsing after its first-week run.
Sacnilk data cited by The Times of India puts Sunday’s India net at Rs 4.35 crore, up 8.7% from Saturday’s Rs 4 crore. That closed the weekend with an upward step, not a slide, and brought the three-day second-weekend net to Rs 11.20 crore.
The Day 10 scorecard
Occupancy is where the detail sits. The day averaged 18% across 5,114 shows, but the average hides the curve: morning shows saw only 9.85%, the afternoon climbed to 28.23%, and evening screenings hit 35.15%. This is the pattern media buyers should read rather than the headline gross.
- Week 1: Rs 30.90 crore India net, Rs 36.86 crore gross
- Week 2, Days 8-10: Rs 11.20 crore India net, Rs 13.39 crore gross
- 10-day India total: Rs 42.10 crore net, Rs 50.25 crore gross
- Overseas total: Rs 11.25 crore gross, including Rs 75 lakh on Day 10
- Worldwide total: Rs 61.50 crore estimated
Why the hold matters
The second weekend added roughly a third of the opening week’s India net in just three days. In the mid-budget segment, that is a steady hold rather than a spectacular one — and it is the kind of signal exhibitors use when deciding whether to keep the film on screens into the third weekend.
Evening and afternoon demand is doing the heavy lifting. That skew suggests working-age and family audiences are finding the title later in the day, which is positive for multiplex programming and for advertisers buying primetime slots around it.
Overseas remains a small but consistent contributor. Day 10 brought Rs 75 lakh, taking the international gross to Rs 11.25 crore. For a title like Udta Teer, the domestic weekend is the main engine; overseas is currently a useful top-up rather than a rescue.
Why the premise is working
The film is built on a memory-loss identity switch: Khurrana plays Vikrant, a Pakistani spy who, after an accident, believes he is an Indian patriot. Sara Ali Khan plays Yamini, with Rahul Bose as Burman and Ram Kapoor in the cast. The espionage-action-comedy mix gives it a wider multiplex audience than a straight spy film would typically draw, which helps explain why the second-weekend curve remains alive.
What to track next
The real test is the weekday stretch from Day 11 onward. If the film holds at a meaningful level through the working week, the third weekend can add another layer to the total. If it drops sharply, then Rs 61.50 crore worldwide may be closer to the closing number than a midpoint. Keep an eye on evening and afternoon fills, not just the daily collection figure.
