Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran's investigative drama Daayra earned Rs 5.60 crore in its first week, reports Pinkvilla. The film, directed by Meghna Gulzar, opened on September 18 and showed muted growth through the week.
In a review, Bollywoodlife.com gave the film 4 stars, praising the performances of Kareena and Prithviraj as two police officers with opposing approaches to justice. The review notes the screenplay expands beyond the central case into questions about the justice system and institutional responsibility.
Pinkvilla described the first-week total as 'dismal', suggesting the film is heading for a dull theatrical run. Daayra is produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Pinkvilla frames Daayra's box office as disappointing, using words like 'muted' and 'dismal', while Bollywoodlife reviews the film positively without addressing commercial performance. Pinkvilla's coverage focuses entirely on numbers and labels the run a failure, omitting any discussion of the film's content. The critical praise for performances and themes from the review suggests the film may find a longer life on streaming or cult viewing, but the theatrical outlook remains weak.
