Mirzapur movie sets September 2026 release, Rs 15 cr opening predicted

Mirzapur: The Movie will release on September 4, 2026, and trade forecasts suggest an opening day of Rs 14 to Rs 20 crore, according to m9.news. The film, based on the popular web series, is seen as a test of whether a streaming brand can draw theatrical audiences comparable to major stars. m9.news reports that the first day prediction is a bold call for a series-to-film adaptation, and some in the trade expect the Rs 15 crore mark to be crossed.

The move is compared to Awarapan 2, which opened at Rs 22 crore on its first Friday, according to Sacnilk data cited by the Times of India. Awarapan 2 has earned Rs 91 crore in four days, including a 55 percent jump on Saturday to Rs 33.75 crore, and has surpassed Batwara 1947 at the box office. The film, made on a Rs 45 crore budget, has been declared a hit.

m9.news notes that taking a popular series to theatres has worked globally but has little Indian precedent outside comedies like Khichdi. The Mirzapur movie is youth-driven and built on quotable characters, and its opening performance will be watched closely to see if a streaming brand can compete with top stars in cinemas.
