Pankaj Tripathi-starrer Mirzapur: The Movie has been one of the biggest and most anticipated films in Indian cinema, as it marks the theatrical leap of one of India's biggest cult franchises. After generating immense excitement among loyal followers of the franchise, the film opened to an impressive response and witnessed a strong surge on Day 2, earning over Rs 60 crore.
After much anticipation, the film arrived in Telugu and Hindi cinemas worldwide and witnessed a terrific opening of Rs 27.85 crore. It continued the momentum on Saturday with a collection of Rs 32.5 crore in Hindi, bringing the total to a massive Rs 60.35 crore in two days. Overseas, the film is sure to cross Rs 15 crore in two days.
The growth has come despite the additional boost the film received on Friday due to the Janmashtami festivities.

With the festive weekend ahead, the film is poised to continue its strong theatrical run, building further on its impressive opening as Day 2 took the momentum to the next level.
Continuing from the world of Season 1, Mirzapur: The Movie brings together some of the franchise's most beloved and iconic characters, including Kaleen Bhaiya, Munna Bhaiya, and Guddu Pandit. At the centre of the new chapter is the race for the Mirzapur throne, with new contenders entering the fray and changing dynamics. The film stars Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu, and Ali Fazal in the lead roles.
