Prahaar Opens to Modest Start, Collects ₹2 Crore on Day 1 at Box Office
Mumbai: Rajkummar Rao’s latest courtroom drama, “Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam,” has made a modest start at the Indian box office, collecting an estimated ₹2 crore on its opening day.
The film hit theatres on Friday and received mixed responses from audiences and critics alike.
Directed by Avinash Arun, the film explores the life and professional journey of renowned public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, showcasing the challenges, legal battles, and personal struggles that shaped his career.
Despite strong curiosity surrounding the subject matter and Rajkummar Rao’s acclaimed performance, the opening-day numbers remained moderate.
Trade analysts believe the film’s performance over the weekend will be crucial in determining its long-term box office prospects.
According to early estimates, Prahaar could earn between ₹6 crore and ₹8 crore during its opening weekend if positive word-of-mouth and audience interest continue to grow.
The film faces stiff competition from several new releases currently running in theatres, which may impact its box office trajectory in the coming days.
Industry observers will closely watch whether the legal drama can attract family audiences and multiplex viewers over the weekend.
Apart from Rajkummar Rao, the film features a strong ensemble cast including Jaideep Ahlawat, Wamiqa Gabbi, Lalit Prabhakar, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Sikandar Kher.
With a compelling legal narrative and an experienced cast, Prahaar now looks to capitalise on weekend footfalls to improve its box office standing.
