The most striking trend on Sunday was the sharp increase in audience turnout as the day progressed.

Mirzapur The Movie’s theatrical performance is being closely watched because it represents a major transition for the franchise.

The film was released in theatres on 4 September, with and Ali Fazal among the returning cast members.
Trade coverage had already pointed to the franchise’s substantial popularity before release, while Film Information reported that the film opened to terrific houses and benefited from the strong following built by the original web series.
With the night shows still to be counted in Sunday’s final tally, Mirzapur The Movie’s opening weekend is not yet complete. But the live Day 3 figures suggest that the film has retained enough momentum to turn its first weekend into a significant start for a franchise making the jump from to theatres.
The crucial test will now come with the weekday hold, beginning Monday.
