'Mirzapur: The Movie' Opens Fourth-Highest Among 2026 Releases
'Mirzapur: The Movie' had a very strong first day in theaters.
It became the fourth-biggest opener among films released in 2026.
Only 'Dhurandhar 2,' 'Toxic,' and 'Border 2' opened higher in India.
The movie is based on the popular 'Mirzapur' franchise.
Many fans already knew and liked its characters.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the Janmashtami holiday helped bring in more viewers.
He also said the movie opened better than several other major Hindi films.
Its final weekend performance will show whether the strong start continues.
