Let us take a look at how the film is performing so far.
Mirzapur The Movie box office update at 9 PM
As per expectations, Mirzapur The Movie saw a bumper start on Friday, collecting ₹24.75 crore on its opening day. For a film which stars mainly character actors and not A-list stars, it is a huge number, showing how well the film has been received for its reach with the beloved series. The collection even surpassed hits such as Saiyaara ( ₹22 crore) and Awarapan 2 ( ₹21.50 crore).
On Saturday too, Mirzapur The Movie continued its dominance. According to Sacnilk, Mirzapur The Movie earned ₹31 crore on its second day of release by 10 PM. The film’s biggest draw is from its Hindi version, collecting ₹30.75 crore. The Telugu-dubbed version has not been really helpful, managing only ₹0.25 crore. This brings total India gross collections to ₹68.20 crore and total India net to ₹56.75 crore.

Pankaj Tripathi is back as Kaleen Bhaiya, while Ali Fazal reprises his role as Guddu Pandit and Divyenndu returns as Munna Tripathi. Rasika Dugal and Harshita Gaur also return as Beena Tripathi and Dimpy Pandit, respectively. The ensemble features Shweta Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Sheeba Chadha, Rajesh Tailang, Sushant Singh and Mohit Malik, among others.
An excerpt from the HT review read, “Divyenndu, as the hot-headed Munna, is clearly the crowd favourite, going by the cheers he received at my 9 AM show. It’s his most popular character to date, and he delivers big time. Next is Ali Fazal as the brawn-over-brains Guddu, and he is on point, too. Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya is, as always, a delight. Rasika Dugal as Beena is the lone female character who actually helps drive the plot forward, and she does it well. Shriya Pilgaonkar and Shweta Tripathi don’t have much to do, but their presence in the Mirzapur world still feels nice. Kulbhushan Kharbanda, as the patriarch of the Tripathi family, also packs a punch. Ravi Kishan as Babban is formidable, and adds a lot of weight to the film. Jitendra fits right in.”
