Actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan's latest film Udta Teer has opened on a modest note at the box office. The spy comedy was released worldwide; however, it struggled to attract large audiences on day 1 of its release, leaving it well short of Khurrana's biggest openers. Nevertheless, the film has been receiving positive response from the critics and audience alike. Thus, word-of-mouth and reviews could help the film position better in the coming days.
On Day 1, Udta Teer earned Rs 4.10 crore nett from 6,265 shows across India, as per trade tracker Sacnilk. The film's India gross collection stood at Rs 4.83 crore, with an occupancy of 1,88,000 throughout its opening-day run.
The Hindi version of Udta Teer witnessed an overall occupancy of 15.65 per cent, as the morning shows began quietly at 5.08 per cent occupancy. The footfall increased during the afternoon, wherein the occupancy reached 14.46 per cent. In the evening, it stood at 13.77 per cent before rising to 25 per cent for the night shows, which turned out to be the strongest slot of the day amid the positive reception.
Notably, in India, Chennai topped the Hindi occupancy charts at 55.7 per cent, followed by Bengaluru at 26 per cent and Hyderabad at 15.5 per cent. The response was slow in northern and western markets. In the National Capital Region, the film saw a 12 per cent occupancy across 966 shows, which eventually peaked at 21 per cent during the night screenings.
On the other hand. Mumbai witnessed an overall occupancy of 14.5 per cent across 546 shows. The figure rose to 29 per cent at night, while Ahmedabad recorded 9 per cent occupancy across 335 shows. Chennai turned out to be the strongest market, while Bengaluru delivered a comparatively better response.
Udta Teer combines espionage, comic chaos and family entertainment. The film follows the story of a spy who accidentally turns an already complicated game upside down. It includes a cast headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan alongside Ram Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, Rahul Bose, Raghubir Yadav, and Brijendra Kala.
