Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan’s latest theatrical outing, Udta Teer, had a steady and promising run over its first weekend, but the dreaded “Monday test” has brought a significant slowdown at the ticket counters. Released on October 23, 2026, the cross-border spy comedy managed to attract audiences during the holidays but struggled to carry that momentum into the working week.
While the film showed impressive weekend jumps, its sharp weekday decline has left trade analysts questioning its lifetime theatrical potential, especially with other recent releases competing for screen space.
Here is the complete box office breakdown for Day 4 of Udta Teer, its weekend trajectory, and what lies ahead for the Ayushmann-Sara starrer!
Day 4 Box Office: A Sharp 67% Monday Drop
After a relatively modest opening on Friday, Udta Teer showed solid growth on Saturday and Sunday. However, the first day of the working week delivered a harsh reality check.
According to early estimates by trade tracking portal Sacnilk, the spy comedy earned approximately ₹2.71 crore net in India on its first Monday (Day 4). Currently playing across 5,583 shows nationwide, this figure represents a massive 67% drop from its Sunday collections.
Despite the Monday dip, the film has managed to cross a respectable milestone, taking its Total India Net Collection to ₹22.26 crore in four days.
The Weekend Trajectory: Slow Start, Solid Jump
The box office journey of Udta Teer has been a rollercoaster so far:
- Day 1 (Friday): The film opened on a slow note, collecting ₹4.10 crore. Interestingly, this failed to enter Ayushmann Khurrana’s top five highest openers (which are currently led by Thamma at ₹24 crore, followed by Dream Girl 2, Dream Girl, Bala, and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan).
- Day 2 (Saturday): Word-of-mouth gave the film a much-needed boost, resulting in a 76% jump as it collected ₹7.25 crore.
- Day 3 (Sunday): The upward trend continued, peaking at ₹8.20 crore on its first Sunday.
Plot and Production Details
Udta Teer marks the directorial debut of Akash A Kaushik, a celebrated writer known for his work on massive comedy franchises like Housefull 4, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the film relies heavily on a chaotic comedy of errors. Ayushmann Khurrana plays a Pakistani spy who loses his memory after a blast. Upon waking up, he mistakenly believes he is an elite Indian Counter-Terrorism Squad (CTS) officer. What ensues is a hilarious, cross-border espionage mission driven entirely by his identity crisis, with Sara Ali Khan joining the chaotic ride.
The ensemble cast also features seasoned actors like Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and the late Mukul Dev.
The Road Ahead
The weekend gave Udta Teer the exact boost it needed after an underwhelming opening day. However, Monday’s numbers suggest that the film’s reliance on multiplex audiences will be heavily tested over the next three days. To maintain a steady run and secure a semi-hit status, the comedy must hold its ground around the ₹2 crore mark on Tuesday and Wednesday.
