Cinema halls turned into battlegrounds this weekend as two powerhouse performers went head-to-head. The Girlfriend Vs Haq Box Office Collection Day 3 showdown brought emotions, suspense, and surprising numbers.
Yami Gautam’s courtroom drama fought with grit, while Rashmika Mandanna’s love story charmed hearts. Yet, as tickets sold and trends twisted, one film quietly stole the spotlight, turning this clash into the weekend’s most thrilling box-office drama.
The Girlfriend Vs Haq Box Office Collection Day 3 Highlights
The weekend face-off saw Haq maintaining a solid lead. The Yami Gautam-starrer earned ₹3.75 crore on Sunday, taking its first three-day total to ₹8.85 crore. On the other hand, Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend collected around ₹3 crore on Day 3, bringing its opening weekend to ₹6.8 crore.
Both films witnessed strong growth from their opening day, but Haq surged ahead with higher occupancy, wider screens, and better weekend momentum across northern India.
Yami Gautam’s Haq Sees Powerful Weekend Growth Nationwide
Yami Gautam’s Haq opened at ₹1.75 crore on Friday and showed an impressive 91% rise on Saturday with ₹3.35 crore. By Sunday, it added ₹3.75 crore, reaching ₹8.85 crore in total. The courtroom drama, based on the Shah Bano Begum case, drew audiences for its emotional depth and powerful storytelling.
Occupancy improved steadily, 23.6% on Sunday alone, reflecting positive word-of-mouth. With Yami and Emraan Hashmi leading, Haq became the weekend’s standout performer across multiplexes.
Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend Grows, But Trails Behind
Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend started with ₹1.3 crore on Day 1 and doubled its earnings on Saturday with ₹2.55 crore. On Sunday, it reached ₹3 crore, taking its weekend total to ₹6.8 crore.
The Telugu romantic drama connected well in regional circuits, particularly Hyderabad and Vizag, with around 37% Sunday occupancy. Despite the strong weekend hold, the film still trailed Haq in national numbers, hinting at limited pan-India traction beyond its home market.

Between Haq and The Girlfriend, the weekend belonged to Yami Gautam. Haq earned ₹2.05 crore more than Rashmika’s film over three days. While The Girlfriend dominated Telugu belts, Haq pulled stronger crowds in Hindi-speaking regions.
Genre played a big role; courtroom thrillers attracted family audiences, while romantic dramas saw mixed occupancy. As both films entered Monday, the question remained: could The Girlfriend close the gap or would Haq continue its lead through the weekdays?
Weekend Recap: Numbers, Occupancy, and Regional Breakdown
Haq’s occupancy hit 23.6% on Sunday, with multiplexes performing best. The Girlfriend maintained 37% in Telugu 2D screens. While Haq thrived on word-of-mouth, The Girlfriend drew steady footfalls regionally. Both films set the stage for an intriguing weekday test.
Haq holds a clear edge in numbers, but The Girlfriend remains steady regionally. The coming weekdays will decide whether this clash remains close or tilts firmly in Yami’s favour.
