Mirzapur The Movie Day 9 Advance Booking: 25,506 Tickets Sold By 3:30 PM On 2nd Saturday, Momentum Still Strong As Haiwaan's Opening Falls Flat
Mirzapur: The Movie is flexing its muscle at the box office once again, and the timing couldn't be better.
Haiwaan released today, but early signs suggest the film has failed to make the kind of impact the trade was watching for, with average reviews and a muted opening day response. That gives Mirzapur: The Movie the room to keep doing what it's been doing for over a week now, holding strong. By 3:30 PM on Day 9 (2nd Saturday), the film has sold 25,506 tickets across national chains, and the numbers are only expected to climb further into the evening.

| Day 5 (Tuesday – Discounted) | 1.25 lakh |
| Day 6 (Wednesday) | 50,000 |
| Day 7 (Thursday) | 33,405 |
| Day 8 (2nd Friday) | 24,340 |
| Day 9 (2nd Saturday), till 3:30 PM | 25,506 |
Haiwaan's Opening Doesn't Change The Game
Haiwaan's arrival was expected to bring genuine pressure on Mirzapur's second week. Instead, the film's opening day has turned out to be far less impactful than anticipated, with the audience response staying average at best and the opening numbers themselves not showing the kind of strength that would have made this a real three-way fight for screens.
That's good news for Mirzapur: The Movie. With one of its two competitors not living up to the hype, the film gets a clearer runway to flex its own muscle through the second weekend.
Saturday Already Outpacing Friday, With Hours Still Left
The 3:30 PM figure of 25,506 tickets already surpasses Friday's full-day tally of 24,340, and there's still a significant part of the day left to go. This is exactly the kind of Saturday jump the trade looks for, a clear signal that weekend footfalls are picking up as expected, even in Week 2.
Hanuman Ansh Still A Factor, But Mirzapur Isn't Backing Down
While Haiwaan's opening hasn't posed the threat many expected, the Hanuman Ansh wave remains very much alive, continuing to pull strong numbers of its own well into its extended run. But Mirzapur: The Movie isn't showing any signs of ceding ground here either, its advance booking trend for Day 9 makes clear that the film's core audience is still very much engaged, competition or no competition.
Blockbuster Run, Now Tested And Still Standing
A massive opening weekend. A ₹18 crore-plus Monday. A huge discounted Tuesday. An extraordinary Wednesday. A strong Thursday. A 2nd Friday that held firm against fresh competition. And now a 2nd Saturday that's already outpacing the previous day with hours still to go.
This is a film that entered its toughest stretch, a fresh release and an ongoing box office giant both sharing the marketplace, and is coming out the other side with its momentum largely intact.
All Set For A Strong Sunday Too
With Haiwaan failing to convert its release-day advantage into real momentum, and Saturday numbers already trending upward, the setup for Sunday looks promising. If this pace holds, Mirzapur: The Movie could be looking at one of the stronger second-weekend performances the trade has seen in recent memory, a rare feat for a film closing in on its second full week in theatres.
