Mirzapur: The Movie breaks ₹200‑crore mark; overtakes Awarapan 2

Mirzapur: The Movie has crossed the ₹200‑crore threshold worldwide, marking a significant milestone for the gangster drama that opened its doors to audiences in 2026. By the end of its seventh day, the film had amassed a global gross of ₹213 crore, with domestic earnings of ₹148 crore net (₹177 crore gross) and an overseas haul of $3.7 million, predominantly from North America and the Middle East.

The film’s momentum has been sustained by robust performances in northern India, particularly in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. On its opening day, it collected ₹25 crore, and by Thursday it was still pulling in over ₹10 crore net per day. In tier‑2 cities, single‑screen theatres were reportedly full even for afternoon shows, and night‑show occupancy reached 43% across India, exceeding 60% in key centres such as Lucknow, Jaipur, and Bhopal.

Mirzapur’s steady climb has propelled it to the fifth spot on the year’s highest‑grossing Hindi film list. With a Thursday haul of ₹213 crore, it surpassed Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2, which closed at just over ₹212 crore. The film now sits ahead of devotional hit Hanuman Ansh, which has earned nearly ₹193 crore, and is poised to overtake it this weekend.

Looking ahead, Mirzapur is targeting the top three positions of 2026, aiming to overtake Akshay Kumar’s Dhamaal 4 (₹224 crore) and Bhooth Bangla (₹247 crore). The movie, presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, was directed by Gurmeet Singh and written by a team that has crafted a gritty narrative around the characters of Kaleen Bhaiya, played by Pankaj Tripathi, alongside Ali Fazal and Divyenndu.
