That’s a staggering leap from how the original performed here. The 2006 film had grossed under a crore in India in its full theatrical run — but the film’s popularity grew manifold over time with satellite and streaming releases. A decade-plus of rewatches on television and OTT clearly built the fanbase that walked into theatres this week.

As expected, the movie is performing best in urban centres, mainly in national chains, which tells you exactly who’s showing up — the urban, English-movie-going audience that practically grew up with this franchise. [Mtv Splitsvilla](https://splitsvilla.net/)

### 🏆 Can It Become India’s Next Hollywood Hit of 2026?

If it manages to sustain well, it can become the fourth Hollywood hit in India in 2026, after Project Hail Mary, The Mummy, and Michael. The early audience reception has been majorly positive — a crucial signal for weekend performance. [Mtv Splitsvilla](https://splitsvilla.net/)

The original *The Devil Wears Prada* is considered one of the most culturally beloved fashion films ever made. Learn more about how the franchise evolved on its [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_Wears_Prada_(film)).
