The theatrical clash that began during the festive Dussehra window on October 16, 2026, is finally nearing its end. Yami Gautam Dhar’s supernatural comedy Nayyi Navelli and Rajkummar Rao’s intense courtroom drama Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story have both completed 13 days at the box office.
As they navigated their second Wednesday (October 28), both films experienced heavy weekday drops, signaling the final leg of their theatrical runs. While both movies struggled to pull in major numbers on Day 13, Nayyi Navelli has officially emerged as the winner of this box office clash, maintaining a solid lead in both domestic and worldwide collections.
Here is the complete box office breakdown and comparison for Day 13 of Nayyi Navelli and Prahaar!
‘Nayyi Navelli’ Box Office Collection: The Clear Winner
Directed by Balaji Mohan, Nayyi Navelli managed to attract family audiences during the holiday season with its unique blend of comedy and supernatural elements. Starring Yami Gautam alongside Adinath Kothare and Mita Vashisht, the film has maintained a steady, albeit slow, pace during its second week.
On Day 13 (second Wednesday), the film pushed its cumulative earnings higher, bringing its Total India Net Collection to a solid ₹25.30 crore.
Globally, the movie is performing much better than its competitor. The India Gross collection stands at ₹30.02 crore, while the overseas market has contributed an additional ₹3.20 crore. This brings the Total Worldwide Gross of Nayyi Navelli to a respectable ₹33.22 crore. Despite the recent weekday drops, the film has successfully cemented its lead in this clash.
‘Prahaar’ Box Office Collection: A Slow Crawl
On the other side of the clash, Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story has struggled to find a massive commercial footing. Directed by Avinash Arun and co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaideep Ahlawat, the film delves into the heavy and intense subject of India’s defining criminal trials.
Unfortunately, the niche subject matter failed to match the mass appeal of a family comedy. According to live tracking data by Sacnilk, Prahaar minted a mere ₹0.27 crore (₹27 Lakh) on its second Wednesday (Day 13), playing across 1,165 shows with an incredibly low overall occupancy of just 7.12%.
With this sluggish Day 13 performance, the Total India Net Collection for Prahaar stands at ₹21.27 crore, while its Total India Gross has reached ₹25.30 crore.
The Verdict: Comedy Beats Drama
As both films approach their third weekend, the box office verdict is clear. Yami Gautam’s Nayyi Navelli has won the theatrical battle against Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar by a margin of nearly ₹4 crore in domestic net collections. With both movies now running out of steam and operating on very low weekday occupancies, they will look to squeeze out their final lakhs before transitioning to their respective OTT premieres in the coming weeks.
