Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan’s film, Udta Teer, experienced a notable increase in box office performance on its second day, following a subdued debut. The spy comedy garnered Rs 7.25 crore nett in India on Saturday, marking a remarkable 76.8 per cent rise from Friday’s earnings of Rs 4.10 crore. This surge in revenue was attributed to improved audience attendance throughout the day, particularly during the evening and night screenings.

As of now, the film’s total nett collection in India stands at Rs 11.35 crore, while its gross earnings worldwide have reached Rs 16.28 crore. The film’s performance is expected to continue on Sunday, although it faces competition from several other new releases.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Udta Teer was screened across 6,164 shows on Saturday, achieving an average earning of Rs 11,762 per show. The film’s gross collection in India has reached Rs 13.53 crore, while its overseas earnings amounted to Rs 1.50 crore on Day Two, bringing the total overseas gross to Rs 2.75 crore.

On its second day, Udta Teer recorded approximately 3,17,835 attendees, a significant increase from the nearly 1,88,000 viewers on Friday. The Hindi 2D version achieved an overall occupancy rate of 29.70 per cent on Saturday, with morning shows starting at 8.54 per cent and rising to 27.62 per cent in the afternoon. The evening shows saw a further increase to 33 per cent, while night screenings peaked at 42.69 per cent occupancy.

Mumbai reported an overall occupancy rate of 30.8 per cent across 536 shows, with night screenings reaching 50 per cent occupancy. The National Capital Region had the highest number of screenings at 950 shows, but occupancy was lower at 21.5 per cent.

The film’s opening day had shown a lacklustre performance, with an overall occupancy of 15.65 per cent. Morning occupancy was particularly low at 5.08 per cent, increasing to 14.46 per cent in the afternoon but dropping to 13.77 per cent in the evening before climbing to 25 per cent at night.

Comparative Performance and Future Prospects

Udta Teer opened on Friday, October 23, with a nett collection of Rs 4.10 crore from 6,265 shows across India, resulting in a gross collection of Rs 4.83 crore. This opening placed it eighth among Ayushmann Khurrana’s films in terms of first-day earnings. The film’s opening fell short of his previous successes, such as Thamma, which earned Rs 24 crore nett on its first day in 2025.

Other notable films in Khurrana’s career include Dream Girl 2, which opened at Rs 10.69 crore, and Bala, which collected Rs 10.15 crore. In comparison, Udta Teer performed better than Doctor G, which earned Rs 3.87 crore, and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, which garnered Rs 3.75 crore.

Directed by Aakash Kaushik, Udta Teer tells the story of a Pakistani spy who loses his memory and mistakenly believes he is an Indian counter-terrorism officer. The film combines elements of espionage with humour and family entertainment. It is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment, featuring a supporting cast that includes Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, and Gulshan Grover.
