Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan’s latest film, Udta Teer, has made a promising start at the box office, crossing the ₹19 crore mark in its first three days in theatres. The spy comedy, which arrived on October 23, 2026, opened with modest collections but gained momentum over the weekend.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, the film collected approximately ₹4.10 crore on Friday, followed by ₹7.25 crore on Saturday. Its Sunday collection was estimated at ₹8.10 crore, taking the reported three-day domestic total to around ₹19.45 crore.
The film’s upward trajectory over the weekend has given it a stronger start than its opening-day figures initially suggested. However, its performance during the weekdays will be important in determining whether it can maintain the momentum.
Day-Wise Box Office Collection
Udta Teer recorded a noticeable increase in collections after its opening day. Here is the reported breakdown of its first three days:
-
Day 1, Friday: ₹4.10 crore
-
Day 2, Saturday: ₹7.25 crore
-
Day 3, Sunday: ₹8.10 crore
-
Opening weekend total: ₹19.45 crore
The Saturday collection represented a substantial improvement over Friday, while Sunday's reported earnings pushed the film closer to the ₹20 crore milestone.
Box-office figures can vary between trade trackers and media reports, particularly while estimates for the current day are still being updated. The figures above reflect the reported estimates and should not be treated as final audited numbers.
Positive Weekend Growth Gives the Film Momentum
The film's strongest sign so far has been its growth after the opening day. According to trade commentary cited in media reports, Udta Teer witnessed a significant jump on Saturday, with major multiplexes in urban centres recording stronger occupancy.
Cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai were mentioned among the markets showing encouraging audience turnout.
The increase suggests that the film managed to attract more viewers after its initial release. Still, a strong weekend alone does not guarantee a successful theatrical run. The next few days will reveal whether the film can retain audience interest once the weekend period ends.
What Is Udta Teer About?
Directed by Aakash A Kaushik, Udta Teer blends espionage with comedy and mistaken identity. Ayushmann Khurrana plays a Pakistani spy who loses his memory following a blast and begins believing that he is an Indian Counter-Terrorism Squad officer.
His confusion sets off a series of comic and action-driven situations as he becomes involved in a cross-border espionage operation.
Sara Ali Khan stars alongside Ayushmann, while the supporting cast includes Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, the late Mukul Dev, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala and Supriya Pilgaonkar.
The film marks the directorial debut of Aakash A Kaushik, who previously worked as a writer on films including Housefull 4, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The project is backed by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, with music composed by Sachin-Jigar.
Weekday Performance Will Be Crucial
With its opening weekend reportedly reaching ₹19.45 crore, Udta Teer has established a base for its first week. The key challenge now is to avoid a sharp decline in collections on Monday and sustain its audience turnout through the working days.
The film also entered theatres amid competition from other releases and established titles still running in cinemas. Its long-term box-office prospects will depend on audience response, repeat viewership and how consistently it performs after the weekend.
For Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, the opening weekend offers an encouraging development after the film's relatively modest start. Whether Udta Teer can turn that early growth into a sustained theatrical run will become clearer as the first-week figures emerge.
