Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Ustaad Bhagat Singh Roars to Rs 86.47 Cr Worldwide in Just 7 Days – Pawan Kalyan's Powerhouse Rules Tollywood! **Imagine a film that storms the box office with a massive opening, battles stiff competition, and still climbs to nearly Rs 90 crore worldwide in its first week.** That's the electrifying run of *Ustaad Bhagat Singh*, starring **Pawan Kalyan** and **Raashii Khanna*, directed by Harish Shankar. Released on March 19, 2026, amid Ugadi and Eid festivities, this action-packed Telugu blockbuster has fans buzzing despite mixed reviews and rivals like *Dhurandhar 2* dominating screens.[1][2][3]

Kicking off with a thunderous **Rs 34.75 crore** on Day 1 in India (net), the film rode high on Pawan Kalyan's stardom, grossing **Rs 71.67 crore worldwide** by Day 3 and crossing **Rs 81.78 crore** by Day 4.[2][3][4] Even with a sharp **74% drop** on Monday (Day 5, **Rs 1.96 crore** India net), it held strong, reaching **Rs 62.26 crore India net** by then and securing the **3rd highest-grossing Telugu film of 2026** so far, behind *Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu* (Rs 220.99 cr) and *The Raja Saab* (Rs 146.04 cr).[1] By **Day 7**, *Ustaad Bhagat Singh* hit an impressive **Rs 86.47 crore worldwide gross**, with strong contributions from Andhra Pradesh-Telangana (**Rs 57.50 cr** gross in opening weekend alone), overseas (**Rs 10.12 cr** by Day 4), and steady holds in Karnataka.[3][5] Made on a **Rs 150 crore budget**, it's recovered about **40-50%** early on, but word-of-mouth challenges and competition signal a tough road ahead – will it breach Rs 100 cr?[4] What makes this run thrilling? Pawan Kalyan's mass appeal shines in Telugu states, delivering the **2nd highest opening weekend** of 2026 in Tollywood (**Rs 60.8 cr India net**).[4] Fans rave about the high-octane action and chemistry with Raashii Khanna, even as critics note the dips post-weekend.[1][6] **Have you caught *Ustaad Bhagat Singh* in theaters yet?
