Featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Daayra stands out as one of the prominent Bollywood releases of the week. Backed by A-list talent and director Meghna Gulzar, the movie generated high expectations among film enthusiasts, though its opening-day performance at the Indian box office proved modest. Nevertheless, the debut figures rank as Meghna’s fifth-highest opening to date. Read on for a complete day-one box office breakdown!
How much did Daayra earn at the Indian box office on day 1?
The crime thriller hit theaters yesterday (September 18) and secured favorable reviews from critics. Initial audience word-of-mouth has also proven positive, which should help the picture build momentum throughout the weekend. Regarding the day-one figures, however, the start remained on the lower side, pulling in 1 crore net domestically, translating to 1.18 crore gross.

With its net collection of 1 crore, Daayra marks the fifth-largest opening in India for director Meghna Gulzar. It edged past Just Married (30 lakh) to secure the fifth position while remaining behind the Irrfan Khan-starrer Talvar, which launched with 3 crore.
