Mirzapur: The Movie sells 55,000 advance tickets ahead of release

Mirzapur: The Movie has sold approximately 55,000 advance tickets in national multiplex chains as of September 2, ahead of its theatrical release.

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

With one day remaining before release, trade watchers expect the film’s total advance sales in national chains to close between 100,000 and 125,000 tickets.

The film brings back the franchise’s original cast, including Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit and Divyenndu as Munna Bhaiya.

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

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.

The Mirzapur franchise has built one of the most loyal fan followings among Hindi-language web series since its 2018 debut, a factor trade watchers say is driving the strong advance interest.

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.
