Ustaad Bhagat Sing Box Office Collection Day 5: The numbers show a clear slowdown as the film struggles to hold its ground against the massive run of Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge. Starring Pawan Kalyan, along with Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna, the Telugu action drama has been affected by the strong performance of the Ranveer Singh spy thriller, which continues to dominate theatres across India.
Both films were released on March 19, and the clash looked exciting at first. However, after five days, the gap between the two movies has become huge, especially after Monday’s sharp drop in collections for Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh Box Office Collection Day 5
Ustaad Bhagat Singh box office collection day 5 figures show a major fall in earnings. According to trade estimates, the film collected only Rs 1.96 cr on Monday. This is a huge drop of around 74 percent compared to Sunday, when the film had earned Rs 7.50 cr.
The fall also came with a reduction in shows. The number of screenings went down from around 3,200 on Sunday to nearly 2,715 on Monday. Over the weekend, the film had shown some stability. On Saturday, it earned Rs 9.05 cr from more than 3,300 shows, which was slightly better than Friday’s Rs 9 cr collection.
The biggest drop came on Friday itself. After opening with Rs 34.75 cr on Thursday during the Ugadi and Gudi Padwa holiday, the film fell by more than 75 percent the very next day. After five days in theatres, the total collection stands at around Rs 62.26 cr net in India, while the gross collection is about Rs 73.35 cr. Overseas earnings are around Rs 10.12 cr, taking the worldwide total to nearly Rs 83.47 cr.
While Ustaad Bhagat Singh is slowing down, Dhurandhar 2 is continuing its record-breaking run. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has already crossed Rs 800 cr worldwide and over Rs 600 cr in India.
DON'T MISS
Interestingly, even the Telugu dubbed version of Dhurandhar 2 earned more than Ustaad Bhagat Singh on Monday. The spy thriller collected around Rs 3.50 cr in Telugu, compared to Rs 1.96 cr earned by the Pawan Kalyan starrer. This shows how strongly the Hindi film has entered the Telugu market within just a few days.
On the opening day itself, the difference between the two films was huge. Ustaad Bhagat Singh earned Rs 34.75 cr on Thursday, while Dhurandhar 2 collected more than Rs 100 cr in India on the same day. At that time, the Telugu version of Dhurandhar 2 had a limited release, but the film picked up quickly in the region over the weekend.

Speaking earlier about the box office clash, Harish Shankar said that the release date was a collective decision and not his alone. He admitted that working with Pawan Kalyan after a long time made the clash with another big film more challenging, but he also believed that during festive seasons, there is space for more than one big film to run in theatres.
