Pawan Kalyan's Film Crosses ₹10 Cr In Pre-Sales

Pawan Kalyan's "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" has concluded its advance booking period at the Indian box office, achieving a decent-to-good performance with gross collections crossing the ₹10 crore mark. The film's pre-sales figure reached ₹10.6 crore, with over 4.19 lakh tickets sold for its opening day.

Despite the star power of Pawan Kalyan, who is coming off a major box office success, "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" did not generate the expected level of pre-release hype. Factors such as low-key promotions, a lack of chartbuster songs, and a less impactful trailer contributed to the subdued buzz. The film's performance is largely dependent on Pawan Kalyan's existing fan base.

As of the temporal anchor date, "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" registered the third-best day 1 advance booking for a Tollywood film in 2026. The highest advance sales were achieved by Prabhas' "The Raja Saab" at ₹15.31 crore gross, followed by Chiranjeevi's "Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu" at ₹14 crore gross. Andhra Pradesh was the top contributor to "Ustaad Bhagat Singh's" advance bookings, with ₹6.22 crore, followed by Telangana at ₹3.26 crore, and Karnataka at ₹77.76 lakh.

The action thriller is directed by Harish Shankar and features Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, R Parthiban, Ashutosh Rana, and Nawab Shah in prominent roles. Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar under the Mythri Movie Makers banner, the film had a full-fledged theatrical release.
