Mirzapur The Movie has quietly done something no OTT-to-theatre crossover has managed before. On day 13, its second Wednesday, the film pulled in Rs 3.7 crore net, according to Koimoi's tracking, taking its total India net haul to Rs 204.22 crore. That number puts it past 3 Idiots' Rs 202 crore, which had stood as Aamir Khan's first 200 crore net grosser. Good Newwz, at Rs 201.14 crore, has fallen too.
The day 13 number itself isn't the story here, though. It's a 29.52% drop from day 12's Rs 5.25 crore, and Koimoi flagged it as steeper than a routine Wednesday dip, comparing it against Tuesday rather than the discounted Monday because collections had actually run lower on Monday's cut-rate tickets than on the day after. Translation: the fall is real, not a trick of ticket pricing.
But nobody at the studio is losing sleep. On a Rs 90 crore budget, Mirzapur The Movie has already returned Rs 114.22 crore in profit, a 126.91% ROI by Koimoi's own math, enough for the outlet to hand it a hit verdict outright with two-plus weeks still left to run. The gross number, worldwide, sits at Rs 240.99 crore.
123telugu, reporting separately, frames the slowdown a little differently. It notes the film held strong through its second Friday before growth turned muted over the weekend, but calls the run a superhit, arguing the box office job is effectively done regardless of how the daily numbers wobble from here. That outlet also points to something bigger than any single milestone: getting an OTT series to pull crowds into cinemas at this scale is rare, and Mirzapur's success could push other streaming shows toward a big-screen life of their own.
What's left on the number is a queue of Bollywood totals lined up to fall. Happy New Year's Rs 205 crore is next, followed by Golmaal Again at Rs 205.72 crore, Housefull 4 at Rs 206 crore, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo at Rs 207.4 crore. All four sit within striking distance if the film manages even a couple more decent weekend days.
123telugu's read is that a finish near Rs 250 crore net would make this a genuinely memorable run for a film built on a show audiences had already watched for free. Whether Mirzapur The Movie gets there depends on how it behaves through its third weekend, the point where most films either find a second wind or fade out for good. For now, the record books are being rewritten one crore at a time, and the makers, and every streaming platform watching this experiment, will be checking the numbers daily.
