The film's Saturday performance is particularly notable as it followed the Janmashtami festivities on Friday. While films can see a moderation in footfall after a holiday-driven opening, Mirzapur The Movie recorded further growth on its second day.

The film is now heading into Sunday with expectations of another strong performance. Its weekend target is around ₹95 crore, according to the report.

The theatrical release has been one of the most anticipated transitions from India's streaming space to cinemas, with the franchise bringing its established characters and fan base to the big screen.

Mirzapur The Movie opened at ₹24.75 crore on Friday, according to the reported India figures.

Its opening-day performance put it ahead of recent films such as Saiyaara, which collected ₹22 crore on its first day, and Awarapan 2, which recorded ₹21.50 crore.

The film's early box-office performance has been supported by strong audience interest in the franchise, reviews and reported houseful shows.

What's driving Mirzapur The Movie?

The film continues the story established by the Mirzapur franchise, bringing characters including Kaleen Bhaiya, Munna Bhaiya and Guddu Pandit into a theatrical setting.

The central conflict revolves around the battle for the Mirzapur throne, with new contenders entering the power struggle and altering the existing equations.

Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, the film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh.

The film has also generated strong fan engagement outside theatres. Ali Fazal recently surprised moviegoers at a theatre in Delhi, where he interacted with audiences and thanked them for their response to the film and his character.

With Mirzapur The Movie already at ₹60.35 crore after two days, Sunday's numbers will determine whether the film can get close to its ₹95 crore weekend target.
