Yudhra, an action-packed thriller starring Siddhant Chaturvedi, Malavika Mohanan, and Raghav Juyal, hit theaters on September 20, 2024. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the movie generated buzz due to its high-octane action sequences and star-studded cast. However, after a promising opening day, Yudhra has seen a significant dip in its box office performance, raising questions about its overall success.
Opening Weekend Performance and Day 3 Prediction
Yudhra began its box office journey with a decent start, earning around ₹4.5 crore on its first day, largely benefiting from National Cinema Day, which saw reduced ticket prices of ₹99. However, the film experienced a steep decline on its second day, dropping by nearly 67% to collect ₹1.48 crore.
As for Day 3 (Sunday), the trend suggests the film may continue to struggle. Predictions for Day 3 estimate an additional collection of around ₹1.5 crore, bringing the film’s total weekend earnings to approximately ₹7 crore.
Box Office Collection Table
| Day | India (Net) | Worldwide Gross |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | ₹4.5 crore | ₹6 crore |
| Day 2 | ₹1.48 crore | ₹2 crore |
| Day 3 | ₹1.5 crore | ₹2.2 crore |
| Total (Weekend) | ₹7.48 crore | ₹10.2 crore |
Is Yudhra a Hit or Flop?
The film’s estimated budget is between ₹50-60 crore, which means it will need to perform significantly better in the coming days to avoid being labeled a flop. Despite its solid action sequences and good performances, the film’s narrative has been criticized for being predictable and lacking depth, which might be affecting its box office performance.
Future Prospects and Box Office Prediction
With its current pace, Yudhra will need a substantial boost during weekdays or strong word-of-mouth promotion to turn things around. However, considering the competitive landscape with several other releases, it may struggle to sustain its momentum beyond the first week. Analysts predict that the film may struggle to surpass the ₹25 crore mark by the end of its theatrical run unless there’s a major turnaround.
Conclusion
While Yudhra opened to decent numbers, its sharp decline in collections over the weekend indicates a challenging road ahead. The movie’s success now hinges on how well it can perform during the weekdays and whether it can attract a larger audience despite mixed reviews.
