Yami Gautam’s Nayyi Navelli finished its opening weekend ahead of Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam. Both Hindi releases saw collections rise on Sunday, October 18, but Nayyi Navelli led in India nett earnings and worldwide gross, according to figures attributed to Sacnilk.
Nayyi Navelli Leads With ₹11.65 Crore India Nett
Nayyi Navelli collected ₹4.40 crore nett in India on Sunday, up 10% from Saturday’s ₹4 crore. After opening at ₹3.25 crore on Friday, the horror comedy reached ₹11.65 crore in India nett collections over its first three days. Its domestic gross stood at ₹13.88 crore, while its worldwide gross reached ₹15.88 crore, including ₹2 crore from overseas markets.
Prahaar Posts a Bigger Sunday Percentage Gain
Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, starring Rajkummar Rao and Jaideep Ahlawat, collected ₹3.65 crore nett in India on Sunday, a 15.9% increase from Saturday’s ₹3.15 crore. With its ₹2.35 crore opening-day collection, the courtroom drama reached ₹9.15 crore in India nett earnings for the weekend. Its domestic gross was ₹10.86 crore, and its worldwide gross stood at ₹12.86 crore, including ₹2 crore from overseas. On these figures, Nayyi Navelli led by ₹2.50 crore in India nett collections.
Early Monday Estimates Keep Nayyi Navelli Ahead
Provisional figures reported early Monday, October 19, added ₹10 lakh from 761 shows for Nayyi Navelli and ₹6 lakh from 509 shows for Prahaar. That put their reported India nett totals at ₹11.75 crore and ₹9.21 crore, respectively. These early estimates are separate from the completed three-day weekend totals and may change as further figures come in.
Prahaar Draws on Ujjwal Nikam’s High-Profile Cases
Directed by Avinash Arun, Prahaar follows public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and his work on major cases, including the 1993 Bombay blasts and the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Both films now face the weekday test, when audience turnout will show whether they can sustain their opening-weekend momentum.
