Summary
- Daayra earned approximately Rs 90 lakh on its opening day in India.
- The crime thriller released simultaneously in Hindi and Malayalam.

Meghna Gulzar's latest film, Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran, experienced a subdued opening at the domestic box office upon its release on Friday. The crime thriller, which marks a significant collaboration, managed to earn approximately Rs 90 lakh in India on its first day.
The film was released in both Hindi and Malayalam, with the Hindi version contributing the majority of the opening-day revenue. The Malayalam release had a marginal impact on the overall collection.
Daayra is set against the backdrop of a controversial police encounter tied to a grim rape-and-murder case. It follows two police officers navigating a complex moral dilemma.
Adding to the competitive landscape, Daayra contended with Vibe, a comedy-action film directed by Kunal Kemmu, which also premiered on the same Friday. Vibe, despite its cast, also recorded a slow start, with an estimated Rs 1.29 crore in net collections on its opening day.
