Prahaar jumps 65% on Tuesday, trails Nayyi Navelli
The Story in Brief
Rajkummar Rao's Prahaar collected an estimated Rs 3.30 crore net in India on Tuesday, 20 October, a 65% jump from Monday's Rs 2 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The Indian Express and Times of India report the figure, while Pinkvilla estimates Rs 3.25 crore. The film's five-day domestic net stands at Rs 14.45 crore and worldwide gross at Rs 19.51 crore. Made on a budget of Rs 60 crore, it remains far from breakeven.
Yami Gautam's Nayyi Navelli earned Rs 4.35 crore on Tuesday across 4,835 shows, ahead of Prahaar's 3,294 shows. Both films have nearly two weeks of uninterrupted run before the release of Ramayana on 5 November. Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal's Tu Hai Meri Kiran, Gurmeet Choudhary's Tum Mere Ho, and the Hindi version of Vijay Deverakonda's Ranabaali release on 23 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Prahaar's box office jump on Tuesday is reported uniformly across sources, but the jump percentage varies: Indianexpress and Times of India report a 65% jump from Monday's Rs 2 crore to Rs 3.30 crore, while Pinkvilla says a 60% jump to an estimated Rs 3.25 crore. NDTV's report from 19 October covers only Day 3 figures. The divergence in Monday's base and Tuesday's exact figure is a minor rounding difference. All sources confirm the five-day worldwide gross of Rs 19.51 crore and the film's distance from breaking even on a Rs 60 crore budget. The next concrete box office benchmark is the weekend after the Dussehra holiday period ends.
