Daayra Opens to Rs 4.10 crore in 3 Days

Daayra opened its opening weekend with a modest 4.10 crore, marking a subdued start for the Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer, an investigation drama directed by Meghna Gulzar. The three-day figure reflects a lukewarm response to a film that centers on ethics within the system after a high-profile encounter and features a supporting cast that includes Kanwaljit Singh, Achint Kaur, Anuja Sathe, Seema Azmi and Biswapati Sarkar among others.

The film began with 1.00 crore on Day 1, then climbed to 1.50 crore on Day 2 and ended Day 3 with 1.60 crore, yielding a total of 4.10 crore over the three-day period. Trade observers note that the genre’s limited scope and promos that did not generate strong interest contributed to the soft performance. The three-day total suggests the film is unlikely to gain momentum in the coming days.

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Daayra stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead, with a supporting cast that includes Kanwaljit Singh, Achint Kaur, Anuja Sathe, Seema Azmi and Biswapati Sarkar among others. The narrative follows a tense clash of ethics within the system after a high-profile incident, with officer Raman Kumar and his team taking action against suspects in a disputed encounter, and officer Ajooni Kohli examining whether the controversial shooting was staged, leading to institutional conflict.

The weekend tally stands at 4.10 crore, suggesting a likely damp outlook for the film’s run at the box office. DPIFF will monitor the project’s trajectory and publish updates as they become available.
