Rajkummar Rao’s intense biographical legal drama, Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story, has officially entered its third week at the box office. Directed by Avinash Arun, the film chronicles the defining criminal trials in Indian history through the lens of public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, focusing heavily on the 1993 Bombay Blasts and the 2008 Mumbai Train Attacks.
Released on October 16, 2026, alongside Yami Gautam’s crowd-pleasing horror-comedy Nayyi Navelli, Prahaar initially struggled to pull in mass audience numbers due to its heavy and niche subject matter. However, the film has managed to carve out its own dedicated audience, demonstrating strong holding power over the weekends.
Here is the complete box office breakdown for Day 16 of Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story, including its Saturday jump, total domestic net, and worldwide earnings!
Day 16 Box Office: A Crucial Saturday Jump
After dropping to a low of ₹35 Lakh on its third Friday (Day 15), Prahaar saw a much-needed boost in collections as the weekend kicked in.
According to live tracking estimates by Sacnilk, the film collected an estimated ₹0.60 crore (₹60 Lakh) net in India on Day 16 (Saturday, October 31, 2026). This marks a massive 71.4% growth compared to the previous day’s earnings, proving that the film continues to be the preferred choice for mature audiences looking for a gripping cinematic experience over the weekend.
Operating across roughly 919 shows nationwide, the Hindi 2D version recorded an overall occupancy of 17.6% on Saturday. Interestingly, while Mumbai (13.7%) and Pune (18.3%) remained strong markets due to the film’s local connection, cities like Chennai (70.0% across limited shows) and Bengaluru (25.7%) showcased the strongest occupancy rates for the day.
Total India Net and Worldwide Gross
With the addition of the Day 16 weekend figures, the Total India Net Collection for Prahaar currently stands at ₹22.60 crore.
Globally, the film is gradually inching towards a respectable milestone for a mid-budget biographical drama. The movie has accumulated an India Gross of ₹26.81 crore. Adding in the overseas collection of roughly ₹3.03 crore, the Total Worldwide Gross for Prahaar has reached ₹29.84 crore.
The Road Ahead
Prahaar wrapped up its first week with ₹17.15 crore and added another ₹4.50 crore during its second week. Now in Week 3, the movie will heavily rely on a similar or better jump on its third Sunday to push its lifetime net collection closer to the ₹25 crore mark.
While it may not have emerged victorious in the direct box office clash against Nayyi Navelli, the film’s steady weekend growth ensures that it will wrap up its theatrical run with dignity before finding a wider audience upon its eventual OTT release.
