Pawan Kalyan’s much-anticipated movie Ustaad Bhagat Singh hit theatres on March 19, 2026, earning a remarkable ₹9.94 crore by 1 PM on its opening day. By the end of the day, the film’s total gross collections reached ₹37.17 crore, showcasing its strong performance in the box office.

Directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Ustaad Bhagat Singh revolves around the titular character, who stands against injustice. Despite its promising premise, the film has faced mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike.

On its opening day, Ustaad Bhagat Singh sold approximately 41,000 tickets, and its earnings in the Telugu-speaking belt alone amounted to ₹31.50 crore. This performance outpaced that of Dhurandhar 2, with Ustaad Bhagat Singh achieving 93.3 percent more earnings among the Telugu audience.

However, the film is not without its challenges. It has encountered piracy issues despite legal protections, which could impact its overall revenue in the coming weeks. Critics have been vocal about their opinions, with one stating, “A Completely Outdated Commercial Entertainer! A commercial film like this doesn’t necessarily need out of the box writing, but it at least needs some freshness. This one feels outdated to the core from the start to end.” Another critic remarked, “This one misses his trademark energy. Boring! Rating: 2/5.”

As the film continues to screen in theatres, observers are keenly watching its performance against the backdrop of these mixed reviews and piracy concerns. Details remain unconfirmed regarding how these factors will influence its long-term success.
