• Ustaad Bhagat Singh nears theatrical end, box office collections disappoint.
• Film expected to gross Rs 87 crore worldwide, including Rs 75 crore India.
• Weak marketing, average word-of-mouth impacted film's poor box office performance.
• Pawan Kalyan's movie failed to outperform Hindi release Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh is now close to the end of its theatrical run after performing poorly at the box office. The Telugu film clashed with Dhurandhar 2 and opened on a good note at the box office. The film therefore set high expectations, but it slipped from the second day itself and continued to see a steady drop in collections. Its run in cinemas is now almost over, and the film is expected to wrap up this week.

Is Ustaad Bhagat Singh A Flop?

According to a Pinkvilla report, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is likely to end its full worldwide box office run at around Rs 87 crore. Directed by Harish Kalyan, the mass action drama earned nearly Rs 75 crore in India, while its overseas business contributed only USD 1.25 million, which is around Rs 12 crore gross.

The film performed better in its home state compared to other regions, earning around Rs 65 crore there. From the rest of the Indian market, it collected nearly Rs 10 crore. Despite that, the film has turned out to be a flop at the box office. What made the result even more disappointing was that it failed to stand against a Hindi film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. This is being seen as one of the rare instances where a Bollywood film dominated even in the Telugu market.

In India, the film collected Rs 75 crore at the box office and contributed Rs 12 crore in the overseas market, bringing the worldwide total to Rs 87 crore. 

There were several reasons behind the film’s poor box office performance. Weak marketing and average word-of-mouth reportedly caused major damage to its run. If the film had received a stronger response from audiences, its box office journey could have looked very different.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role, while Sreeleela and Raashi Khanna also play important parts. The film also features R Parthiban, Rao Ramesh, KS Ravikumar, Gautami, Ramki, LB Sriram, and Satyam Rajesh in key roles. It was released on March 19 and clashed at the box office with Ranveer Singh-starrer, directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2.
