Ustaad Bhagat Singh Box Office Collection Day 7: Pawan Kalyan starrer action comedy Ustaad Bhagat Singh is finding it difficult to maintain a strong run at the box office. The film was released on March 19 and clashed with Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge. While the big-budget action film has turned into a massive theatrical success, UBS has failed to keep the same pace. After seven days in theatres, the film has ended its first week with disappointing numbers, which has raised doubts about its long-term performance.
The competition at the box office has been tough from the first day. With Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge dominating screens across languages, Pawan Kalyan’s film has struggled to hold its ground. The steady fall in collections during the weekdays shows that the film could not build strong word-of-mouth among the audience. What’s worse is that the film is earning under Rs 2 cr.

According to trade website Sacnilk, Ustaad Bhagat Singh collected Rs 2.50 crore on its first Monday, followed by Rs 1.75 crore on Tuesday. On Day 7, Wednesday, the film recorded its lowest single-day collection so far with just Rs 1.14 crore. With this, the total domestic collection of the film after its first week stands at Rs 65.74 crore.
The numbers clearly show the impact of Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge, which continues to perform strongly at the box office. The Ranveer Singh starrer collected Rs 47.70 crore on the same Wednesday alone, taking its total to Rs 623.42 crore in India. The big gap between the two films highlights how difficult the clash has been for Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
The film is also behind Pawan Kalyan’s previous releases. Hari Hara Veera Mallu had earned Rs 79.73 crore in its first week, while They Call Him OG had collected Rs 161.6 crore in seven days. This means Ustaad Bhagat Singh has earned about 59 per cent less than They Call Him OG in the same time. The film is now struggling to cross the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide, which was earlier expected to happen easily.

About The Film
Directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Ustaad Bhagat Singh stars Pawan Kalyan along with Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna and R Parthiban in important roles. The film opened to mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and audiences, which seems to have affected its box office performance.
DON'T MISS
Talking about the trolling and criticism, director Harish Shankar reacted at a recent event. He said, “Trollers are more than free to troll anything, I take constructive criticism. Like – the scene was not very well written, or it could have been written much better, the first half was a little slow… I will take the constructive criticism, and I don’t think of taking the troll material seriously because their identity and their whereabouts are not known. They themselves are too insecure to reveal their identity.”
He also said that he does not take abusive comments seriously and prefers to block or report people who cross the line online.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh marks the reunion of Harish Shankar and Pawan Kalyan after their 2012 hit Gabbar Singh, which was a remake of the Hindi film Dabangg and became a big success at the box office. However, this time the duo is facing a tougher situation, as the film continues its run with slow collections and a weak response.
