Mirzapur: The Movie advance sales climb to 55,000 tickets

Advance sales for Mirzapur: The Movie have climbed to around 55,000 tickets in national chains as of September 2.

Trade estimates project the film’s opening day collection at Rs 21-26 crore, with a pinpoint figure of Rs 24 crore net.

With one day left before release, trade watchers expect national chain advance sales to close between 100,000 and 125,000 tickets.

The film’s original cast returns, led by Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit and Divyenndu as Munna Bhaiya.

Mirzapur: The Movie releases in cinemas on September 4, 2026, directed by Gurmmeet Singh and produced by Excel Entertainment.

Ticket sales for the film have grown steadily in the days leading up to release, climbing from roughly 20,000 tickets in early estimates to 55,000 as of September 2.

The film’s opening-day performance will be closely watched as an indicator of how well established streaming franchises can translate into theatrical box office success.

Trade estimates project the film could close its advance sales between 100,000 and 125,000 tickets in national chains with one day still remaining before release.

The film brings back the franchise’s original ensemble, including Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi), Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal), and Munna Bhaiya (Divyenndu), alongside new cast additions Ravi Kishan, Sonal Chauhan and Jitendra Kumar.

Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the Excel Entertainment banner.

The theatrical release marks the transformation of a popular OTT web series into a full-length cinema release, a format shift that industry watchers say could open the door for similar adaptations.

Trade analysts caution that advance booking figures are subjective estimates and analytical projections rather than certified collection numbers.

The film’s advance sales are being tracked closely across major national multiplex chains including PVR Inox and Cinepolis ahead of its theatrical debut.
