'Mirzapur The Movie' Crosses ₹322 Crore on Day 20, Shattering Major Bollywood Records
Dominating cinema halls well into its third week of theatrical release, Excel Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios' crime epic Mirzapur: The Movie continues to deliver formidable returns across domestic and overseas circuits. Overcoming typical third-week weekday stabilization, the big-screen adaptation of the streaming phenomenon pulled in ₹1.90 crore on its third Wednesday in India, alongside an international haul of ₹50 lakh. This pushes the film's 20-day gross worldwide collection to a staggering ₹322.59 crore (net domestic collection reaching ₹221.65 crore; gross domestic total at ₹263.84 crore; overseas gross at ₹58.75 crore). In doing so, the production has officially leapfrogged several high-profile lifetime collection benchmarks, proving the massive theatrical drawing power of the Purvanchal crime franchise.
Record-Breaking Spree: Overtakes 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' and 'Ek Tha Tiger' Worldwide
With its cumulative worldwide gross sailing past ₹322 crore, Mirzapur: The Movie achieved a major commercial milestone by eclipsing the lifetime global tallies of several major Bollywood blockbusters. The crime saga surpassed Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone's romantic drama Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (₹318 crore), followed by Salman Khan's spy thriller Ek Tha Tiger (₹320 crore) and mythological epic Mahaavatar Narasimha (₹320.79 crore). Operating on a controlled production budget of approximately ₹90 crore, the project is already a certified blockbuster, with trade analysts predicting it will bypass Salman Khan's Bharat (₹323.03 crore) within the next 24 hours as it approaches the ₹325 crore global benchmark.
