Ustaad Bhagat Singh Box Office Collections: Pawan Kalyan’s Eid Gamble Falls Flat — Rs. 70.50 Crore in 3 Days Signals a Costly Misfire

The Eid weekend was supposed to be Pawan Kalyan’s time to shine — but sadly for his fans, Ustaad Bhagat Singh turned out to be one of the most disappointing Telugu releases of the year. The cop action mass entertainer, directed by Harish Shankar, couldn’t hold its ground at the box office, and the day-by-day collapse of its collections tells a grim story.

Day-Wise Box Office Collections

What Went Wrong?

The opening day of Rs. 35.50 crore wasn’t terrible on its own — but what happened next was alarming. A massive nearly 70% crash on Day 2 to just Rs. 10.50 crore was a clear red flag that audience word-of-mouth simply wasn’t backing the film up. Day 3, which should have shown a Saturday jump, instead stayed completely flat at Rs. 10.50 crore — a sign that the film had essentially exhausted its core fanbase turnout in a single day.

Making matters worse, the Bollywood spy actioner Dhurandhar: The Revenge reportedly outperformed Ustaad Bhagat Singh in Telugu states by around 30% — a deeply embarrassing outcome for a Pawan Kalyan release on home turf. Learn more about Pawan Kalyan’s career and filmography on Wikipedia.

Territory-Wise Collections

The film’s reach outside of AP/Telangana was virtually non-existent, with the rest of India contributing a paltry Rs. 1 crore. Even in its strongest territory, the numbers pale compared to Pawan Kalyan’s previous outing They Call Him OG. It’s heading for a very short theatrical run, with weekday collections expected to fall off sharply.
