Courtroom dramas depend on gripping storytelling and strong word of mouth, and Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is learning how tough the first weekday can be. After a modest weekend, the film slipped further on Monday. Here’s the full picture, based on Pinkvilla’s trade estimates.
Prahaar: Box Office Snapshot
| Day | Nett Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | Rs 2.00 cr |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | Rs 3.00 cr |
| Day 3 (Sunday, est.) | Rs 3.50 cr |
| Day 4 (Monday, est.) | Rs 2.00 cr |
| Total | Rs 10.50 cr nett |
Pinkvilla’s headline says Rs 10 crore, while the body and table add up to Rs 10.5 crore, so I’ve used the latter.
The Run, Explained
Friday (Rs 2 crore): A low opening, which set the tone for the weekend.
Saturday (Rs 3 crore): A jump of Rs 1 crore from Friday, a small sign of growth.
Sunday (Rs 3.5 crore): The best day so far. The three-day weekend total stood at Rs 8.5 crore nett.
First Monday (Rs 2 crore): A slight drop that was expected after Sunday. The report says holding the weekend momentum will be a challenge, and the film still has considerable ground to cover.
The headwind: Mixed word of mouth could weigh on weekday numbers. A stronger audience response would have helped the film build momentum, so its theatrical run now depends on how it holds through the week.
Where It Stands?

Why It Matters?
Serious, true-story dramas often rely on word of mouth rather than opening-day hype, so the coming weekdays will show whether Prahaar can recover.
