The transition from streaming phenomenon to theatrical franchise appears to have started strongly for Mirzapur: The Movie.
The crime drama, starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu among its principal cast, collected an estimated ₹93.75 crore net in India during its three-day opening weekend, according to box-office figures reported on Monday, 7 September 2026.
Its worldwide gross has reached approximately ₹132.35 crore, putting the film within touching distance of the ₹100-crore India-net milestone after just three days.
Released theatrically on 4 September 2026, the film began strongly on Friday before showing growth on Saturday and Sunday.
The performance is particularly significant because Mirzapur built its popularity primarily as a streaming series before being expanded into a theatrical film.
At the same time, the successful weekend has been accompanied by a controversy involving musician Rapperiya Baalam, who has alleged that his song Shoorveer was used in the film without his permission or proper credit.
The filmmakers had not publicly responded to the allegation in the reports available when this article was prepared.

Mirzapur Records ₹93.75 Crore in India Net in Three Days
According to the latest box-office estimates, Mirzapur: The Movie earned approximately:
Friday: ₹25.75 crore
Saturday: ₹32 crore
Sunday: ₹36 crore
That gives the film an estimated ₹93.75 crore India net total for its opening weekend.
Some reports have quoted slightly different opening-day numbers because official producer figures and trade-tracker estimates can vary.
For that reason, collection figures should always be clearly identified as reported or estimated unless the producers provide audited numbers.
Nevertheless, all available figures point in the same direction: Mirzapur: The Movie delivered a major opening weekend.
Worldwide Gross Reaches Around ₹132.35 Crore
Another number requires careful explanation.
The film’s India net collection is approximately ₹93.75 crore.
Its India gross income is around ₹112.35 crore.
After adding approximately ₹20 crore from overseas markets, the reported worldwide gross reaches ₹132.35 crore.
These figures should not be mixed together.
“India net,” “India gross” and “worldwide gross” are different box-office measurements.
The most useful headline comparison for the domestic market is therefore the ₹93.75-crore India-net figure.
Can Mirzapur Cross ₹100 Crore in India Net?
Barring an unusually sharp Monday fall, the ₹100-crore India-net milestone is now within reach.
The film needs only a relatively modest additional collection to cross it.
But the more important test begins after the opening weekend.
Friday-to-Sunday business can be powered by advance booking, franchise loyalty, holidays, curiosity and dedicated fans.
Monday begins to show whether the wider audience is sustaining the film.
A strong weekday hold could put Mirzapur on course for a much larger lifetime collection.
A steep drop would suggest that much of the initial demand was concentrated in the opening weekend.
From Streaming Hit to Theatrical Movie
The performance also carries broader significance for the Hindi entertainment industry.
Mirzapur originated as a streaming series and developed a substantial audience through its characters and crime-driven world.
The theatrical film brings familiar figures, including Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Bhaiya, onto the big screen.
Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu return alongside other familiar cast members, while actors including Ravi Kishan and Jitendra Kumar have joined the film.
The movie is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna.
Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment are behind the theatrical adaptation.
Its opening weekend suggests that at least some streaming properties can potentially convert established digital fandom into cinema-ticket sales.
Whether that becomes a repeatable industry model will depend on more than one successful film.
Ali Fazal Surprises Fans at Delhi Screening
The film’s theatrical campaign also produced a memorable moment in Delhi.
Ali Fazal, who plays Guddu Pandit, made an unexpected appearance at a cinema during a Saturday evening screening.
According to an ANI report, Fazal entered while viewers were watching the climax.
Fans reacted enthusiastically when they realised the actor was inside the auditorium.
Fazal thanked audiences for supporting the movie and his character, interacted with viewers and posed for photographs.
One audience member described the surprise appearance as a “goosebump moment.”
The visit highlighted one advantage of theatrical releases: actors and filmmakers can directly engage with audiences during the initial run in ways that are less common with streaming-only launches.
Rapperiya Baalam Alleges Unauthorised Use of ‘Shoorveer’
The film’s successful opening has also been accompanied by controversy.
Rajasthani rapper and musician Rapperiya Baalam has alleged that his song Shoorveer was used in Mirzapur: The Movie without his permission.
The musician made the allegation through social media.
He said neither he nor his team had given permission for the song’s use and alleged that he had not received appropriate credit.
He also objected to the context in which the track was allegedly used.
According to his statement, Shoorveer was created as a tribute to Maharana Pratap and Rajasthan’s historical warriors.
He argued that associating it with fictional gangsters and villains was inconsistent with the intention behind the song.
Allegation Is Not Yet a Legal Finding
The distinction here is important.
Rapperiya Baalam has made an allegation of unauthorised use.
That does not, by itself, establish copyright infringement.
Music rights can involve composers, lyricists, performers, producers, labels, publishers and other rights holders.
Determining whether a particular use was authorised would require examination of the relevant ownership and licensing agreements.
The musician has reportedly indicated that he may pursue legal action.
As of the latest reports reviewed for this article, the makers had not issued a public response addressing the allegation.
The story should therefore be reported as a dispute or allegation — not as an established finding that the producers “stole” the song.
Strong Box Office, but Weekdays Are the Next Test
For now, the commercial story remains strong.
A ₹93.75-crore India-net opening weekend puts the film on the verge of the ₹100-crore milestone.
But lifetime performance will depend on weekday collections and competition from upcoming releases.
The film’s strong Sunday suggests audience interest remained high through the weekend.
Monday and Tuesday will provide a clearer indication of whether that momentum can continue.
Key Takeaway
Mirzapur: The Movie has delivered a strong first weekend, collecting an estimated ₹93.75 crore in India net and ₹132.35 crore worldwide gross.
The movie is now close to crossing ₹100 crore net domestically.
Ali Fazal also surprised fans at a Delhi screening during the weekend.
Meanwhile, Rapperiya Baalam has alleged that his song Shoorveer was used without permission or credit. That remains an allegation, and the filmmakers’ response will be important if the dispute develops further.
