Day six figures for Udta Teer, the Ayushmann Khurrana-Sara Ali Khan spy comedy, were yet to be reported at the time of writing. The public tally still tells a clear story: a wide star-led release has banked ₹25.85 crore India net and reached ₹38.53 crore worldwide gross, but its first-day softness remains the defining number.
The running total
- India net: ₹25.85 crore
- India gross: ₹30.78 crore
- Overseas gross: ₹7.75 crore
- Worldwide gross: ₹38.53 crore
The film opened on Friday, October 23, with ₹4.10 crore India net from 6,265 shows. It is directed by Aakash Kaushik and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment, with Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor and Gulshan Grover in support.
An unusual premise, a muted start
The plot follows a Pakistani spy who loses his memory and begins believing he is an Indian counter-terrorism officer, a device that gives the action comedy its mistaken-identity engine. Yet the opening-day number did not match the scale of the release. It ranks eighth among Khurrana’s first-day totals and missed his top five, landing nearly 83% below Thamma, which collected ₹24 crore India net on day one in 2025.
In box office terms, that opening is the key context for every figure that follows. A film spread across more than 6,000 shows has fixed exhibition costs in the form of screen time; if the first day under-indexes, the weekday holds have to do more work. That is why the missing Day 6 report is worth watching: the first weekday trend after a muted weekend tells you whether the audience is finding the film later or not.
What the advance booking signals
For Day 7, Thursday, October 29, 4,291 shows are already listed with ₹1.30 crore booked as of 2:00 AM IST on October 28. That figure is modest but concrete; it is the earliest available clue to whether Udta Teer can stabilise its run. Live estimates and day six occupancy remain unavailable until shows begin.
Until those numbers arrive, the report is of a star vehicle with an inventive high concept that has not yet ignited at the ticket window. The worldwide gross of ₹38.53 crore is a milestone, but it will read differently if the India net line does not move meaningfully over the next two days.
