Udta Teer Hits ₹30.78 Cr on Day 5: Ayushmann Khurrana's Spy Comedy Falters

The first day was a modest 4.10 crore—nothing that screams hit—but the weekend saw a tentative lift to 7.25 crore on Saturday and a final 8.20 crore on Sunday. By Monday, the film dipped again to 3.20 crore, with Tuesday matching that figure almost exactly. The pattern looks like a slow, uneven climb rather than a blockbuster surge.

Across the pond, the numbers were even tighter. Day 5 overseas revenue was just ₹1.00 crore, bringing the global total to ₹7.75 crore. That translates to a worldwide gross of ₹38.53 crore, a figure that sits comfortably below the thresholds typically seen for a Dharma‑produced spy‑comedy.

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV summed up the mood in a single line: “Udta Teer is diverting all right but one thing it certainly does not yield is the kind of hilarity that will have you rolling in the aisles.” He added, “It won’t induce any major eye‑rolls either, even if it leaves you wondering what the whole point of the film is.” The critique is blunt—if you’re hoping for a laugh riot, you might find yourself a little short.

Behind the scenes, the film is a collaboration between Aakash Kaushik—both director and writer—and a heavyweight slate of producers: Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Guneet Monga, Apoorva Mehta and Achin Jain, under the banners of Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. The cast is a mix of fresh faces and seasoned actors, with Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana leading the charge. Notably, the film features the posthumous appearance of Mukul Dev, who passed away earlier this year.

What comes next? The industry’s focus will now shift to whether the film can reverse its fortunes in the coming weeks or if it will be relegated to a quiet, early‑exit. Meanwhile, audiences might look to the next big releases to see if the box‑office pulse stays in the realm of high‑stakes spy comedies or veers elsewhere.
