Yami Gautam’s Nayyi Navelli remains the undisputed king on its fifth day, hauling in ₹4.35 crore net across 4,835 screens, while Rajkummar Rao’s courtroom drama lags behind with ₹3.30 crore.
The film’s 28.33% theatre turnout is a tidy win, especially when the evening peak climbs to 37.54%—a clear sign that night‑time audiences still love a good girl‑power story.
Overseas, Nayyi Navelli snagged a modest ₹25 lakh on day five, pushing its international gross to ₹2.50 crore, a stark contrast to Prahaar’s ₹15 lakh haul that day.
In a market that’s already a battlefield—think Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranabaali, Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, and the heavyweight status of Prahaar—Nayyi Navelli’s steady climb shows it’s not just a flash in the pan.
The film, directed by Balaji Mohan and bolstered by a crew that includes Addinath M. Kothare and Sunita Rajwar, is proving that a strong ensemble can keep the audience glued.
With the weekend on the horizon, the real test will be whether Nayyi Navelli can sustain its lead against the juggernauts of the season, or if Prahaar will mount a dramatic comeback.
