Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh has turned into a major box office disappointment.
Released during the Eid 2026 season with high expectations, the big-budget Telugu action entertainer is now struggling badly at the box office.
Directed by Harish Shankar, the film has failed to maintain momentum and is now heading toward a flop verdict.
According to trade estimates, Ustaad Bhagat Singh earned only around ₹86 lakh on Day 10.
Ideally, the film should have shown at least some jump on its second Saturday, but instead, it reportedly suffered another drop, showing how weak its hold has become.
One of the biggest reasons behind this poor performance is said to be the strong domination of Dhurandhar 2, which is performing exceptionally well in the Telugu market and pulling audiences away.
After 10 days, the film’s India total stands at around ₹68.91 crore. Considering the scale of the project, this is far below expectations.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film is reportedly mounted on a budget of around ₹150 crore. So far, it has recovered less than 50% of its estimated cost, which puts it in a very weak position commercially.
Overseas Also Disappointing
The film has not found support in the overseas market either. After a poor first weekend abroad, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has managed to collect only around ₹11.60 crore gross internationally.
With that, the film’s worldwide total now stands at around ₹92.91 crore gross.
₹100 Crore Club Out of Reach
At one stage, the only possible relief for the film looked like a ₹100 crore worldwide finish.
But now, even that appears highly unlikely.
The film still needs more than ₹7 crore to enter the ₹100 crore club, and with its current pace, that target now looks almost impossible.
For Pawan Kalyan, this has turned into yet another frustrating box office result at a time when expectations were sky-high.
