In the fevered landscape that is Bollywood, success and failure exist side by side. Fresh in our minds is the roller-coaster ride of the action-thriller ‘Yodha’.
Admittedly, its journey has been far from smooth, yet its tale is illustrative of the twists and turns of the movie industry.
Yodha Box Office Collection Day 6
Moviegoers did not flock to ‘Yodha’ as anticipated, with numbers dwindling as the week advanced. As it stands, ‘Yodha’ claims ₹23.25 crore net domestic earnings, with ₹25.5 crore its worldwide standing.
The tale of ‘Yodha’ is a stark reminder of the hope and despair lining the walk to the box office. It reflects a movie’s unpredictable journey, punctuated by hits, misses, rebounds. In this story, we find the relentless rhythm of Bollywood — unpredictable, unfolding, unending.

Initial Projections and Weekend Returns
‘Yodha’, starring Sidharth Malhotra, Raashii Khanna, Ronit Roy, and Disha Patani, hit the ground running but stumbled as weekdays approached. Booted off on its Friday release with a lukewarm reception, the film scored ₹4.1 crore.
But, like a true Bollywood drama, it changed gears. The weekend saw a surge with Saturday raking in ₹5.75 crore, a healthy 40.24% increase. Riding high, ‘Yodha’ grew stronger on Sunday, with a further 21.74% growth adding ₹7 crore to its account.
The Monday Dip and Hope for Recovery
The week started on a less promising note as domestic earnings nosedived by 69.29%, gathering a mere ₹2.15 crore. But hope remained. Tuesday saw some recovery, with an uptick in earnings amounting to ₹2.30 crore.
A Global Perspective
The world had its eye on ‘Yodha’. Drawing ₹3.5 crore from audiences overseas, its global gross amounted to ₹28.7 crore. An important tale that this tells us is that Bollywood is no longer just a domestic event; it is a global spectacle influencing the narrative of world cinema.

Comparisons with ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’
This same week saw the release of ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’, directed by Sudipto Sen. Earning ₹2.66 crore in its first six days, the receipts of ‘Bastar’ contrast vividly with ‘Yodha’s’ sum of ₹25.2 crore.
Significantly, ‘Bastar’, reputed to be made with a lower budget of ₹15 crore, has garnered less attention than the ₹55-crore ‘Yodha’.
