Pawan Kalyan's action comedy, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, has struggled to hold its ground at the box office. The film, which hit theatres on March 19, has failed to match the momentum of Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
According to Sacnilk, Ustaad Bhagat Singh collected ₹2.50 crore on its first Monday, followed by ₹1.75 crore on Tuesday. On its seventh day, Wednesday, the film recorded the lowest single-day earnings so far, collecting ₹1.14 crore. The total domestic collection of the film now stands at ₹65.74 crore.
The film is struggling to maintain a strong hold at the box office, with Dhurandhar 2 collecting ₹47.70 crore on Wednesday and taking its collection to a staggering ₹623.42 crore. Ustaad Bhagat Singh is also lagging behind Pawan's previous release, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which collected ₹79.73 crore at the end of its first week.
Helmed by Harish Shankar, the action comedy is produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The film stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role alongside Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna and R. Parthiban in key roles.
