Ustaad Bhagat Singh Flops Big Time: A Disaster Unfolds
Pawan Kalyan's highly anticipated film, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, has turned out to be a massive disappointment at the box office. The movie's North America closing gross stands at $796K, with the USA contributing $745K and Canada adding $51K. Overseas, the film has earned $1.25M, translating to ₹11.5 Cr.
The film's poor performance is attributed to mixed-to-negative word-of-mouth and intense competition from Dhurandhar 2, which dominated the box office. Ustaad Bhagat Singh's worldwide gross is expected to be around ₹95 Cr, making it Pawan Kalyan's lowest-grossing film in the post-pandemic era.
With a production budget of ₹150 Cr, the film has recovered only 47% of its costs, making it a significant loss for the producers. The film's underperformance is evident in its occupancy rates, which dropped to 14.55% by Day 12.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh's disappointing run is a major setback for Pawan Kalyan, who was expecting a strong comeback with this film. The actor's previous releases, such as They Call Him OG and Bheemla Nayak, had performed much better at the box office.
