**Mumbai, India:** The action film “Yudhra,” starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan, had a strong opening weekend at the box office, fueled by the National Cinema Day special ticket price of Rs 99.
Despite mixed reviews, the film, directed by Ravi Udyawar, saw an overall occupancy rate of approximately 46.54%, peaking at 75.67% during evening performances. Industry tracker Sacnilk reported domestic earnings of Rs 4.5 crore for the film, making it the second highest-grossing film on National Cinema Day, just behind “Stree 2” which collected Rs 4.75 crore.
“Yudhra” was screened in over 2,200 shows on its opening day, nearly double the number of screenings for Kareena Kapoor’s mystery drama “The Buckingham Murders.” The film saw its highest opening-day occupancy in Pune at 67.75%, followed by Delhi-NCR at 58.25%.
Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under Excel Entertainment, “Yudhra” outperformed the competition, including Saurabh Dasgupta’s “Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam,” which earned Rs 1.05 crore on its opening day.
To be deemed a box office success, “Yudhra” will need to surpass Rs 50 crore in total earnings. The film was reportedly produced on a budget of Rs 50 crore, excluding print and advertising costs.
