Meghna Gulzar's investigative thriller Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, collected a net Rs 4.50 crore in India across its opening weekend, according to Sacnilk figures reported by Hindustan Times. The film earned Rs 1 crore on Friday, Rs 1.75 crore on Saturday, and Rs 1.75 crore on Sunday. A buy-one-get-one weekend offer helped Saturday's jump.
123telugu.com called the Saturday growth solid, while Pinkvilla described the three-day total as a disappointing run. The film follows a police officer investigating an encounter in which a gang-rape suspect died. Sunday's collection will set the tone for weekday performance.
Indian Opinion Analysis
123telugu.com frames the weekend 'growth' positively, presenting the BOGO offer as a boost and leaving Sunday's role as open. Pinkvilla leads with 'disappointing run', framing the Rs 4 crore net as a low note and omitting the BOGO context entirely. Hindustan Times takes a neutral middle, reporting steady holds and gross figures without pegging the result as success or failure. The difference is tone rather than fact: all three report similar numbers, but the headline verb and selection of details shift the impression. The true measure is Monday's drop percentage, which will separate a slow-starting sleeper from a genuine disappointment.
