Udta Teer crosses Rs 50 crore worldwide in nine days

Ayushmann Khurrana's spy comedy Udta Teer has grossed Rs 55.03 crore worldwide in nine days, according to figures shared by the film's team. The film, released on Friday, 23 October, has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark on the strength of its first week and a steady second Saturday.

The film's team said the Hindi film earned Rs 4.72 crore gross in India on its second Saturday, its ninth day in theatres. Overseas, it took Rs 75 lakh that day. Its India gross stands at Rs 37.73 crore net, or Rs 44.53 crore gross. Overseas gross is Rs 10.5 crore.

The opening week was strong. The film took Rs 4.92 crore gross on day one, Rs 8.70 crore on Saturday and Rs 9.85 crore on Sunday. Collections dipped on weekdays, with Rs 3.85 crore on Monday and Rs 4.08 crore on Tuesday.

A slow start to the week

The film opened during the pre-Diwali period, which is usually a difficult window for new releases. Its team said the collections held up through the week on audience response and positive word of mouth. With no big release scheduled that weekend, its footfall was expected to rise again.

Udta Teer is written and directed by Aakash Kaushik. Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment produced it, with Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Guneet Monga, Apoorva Mehta and Achin Jain as producers. Sara Ali Khan co-stars with Ayushmann Khurrana, alongside Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, Mukul Dev and Suhail Nayyar.

Milestone and what comes next

With Rs 55.03 crore worldwide, Udta Teer is Ayushmann Khurrana's fifth film to gross Rs 50 crore worldwide in the post-COVID era. It has also moved past Doctor G, which grossed Rs 46.4 crore, to take fifth place among his post-pandemic films. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, at Rs 77.81 crore, remains out of its reach.

The film's run is expected to end soon. Ramayana releases on Thursday, 5 November, which is likely to reduce screens and footfall for Udta Teer. The figures are the film's own and have not been independently verified.
