Ustaad Bhagat Singh box office collection day 11: Pawan Kalyan’s action drama continued its theatrical run on Day 11, playing across 1,118 shows and earning a net ₹1.03 crore. With this, the film’s total India gross has reached ₹82.20 crore, while its net collection stands at ₹69.94 crore so far, as per Sacnilk.com.

The film had a strong opening week, raking in ₹65.95 Cr over seven days. Day 1 (Thursday) set the pace with ₹34.75 Cr and 69% occupancy across 4,607 shows, while collections gradually declined during the week, ending Day 7 (Wednesday) at ₹1.35 Cr with 18% occupancy. The second week saw further drops, with Day 8 (Thursday) earning ₹1 Cr from 1,890 shows, and Day 11 (Sunday) recording ₹1.03 Cr with 22% occupancy from Telugu shows alone. Analysts note that the performance reflects a typical trend for pan-India releases, with strong openings followed by steady weekday declines.
Director Harish Shankar on clash with Dhurandhar
Speaking about the clash, director Harish Shankar told Glute, “With all due respect, Aditya Dhar is a superior filmmaker. I watched Uri. He is a very impactful, very influential filmmaker. Having said that, pan-India films should consider Dhurandhar as competition. But we have our Telugu states for the film. Also, they both belong to very different genres. If, in place of Dhurandhar, it was a Shah Rukh Khan film, a full entertainer with songs, then we would have thought it’s similar to our film. But Bhagat Singh and Dhurandhar are totally different films.”
He added, “It’s also a collective decision; it wasn’t in my hands alone. Somewhere within, I too felt that I am doing a film with Pawan sir after so long, and for that film to compete with another big release… But whether it’s Sankranti or summer, there is always space for two to three big films. It’s not like theatres will only show Dhurandhar across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.”
