President Pranab Mukherjee Addressing at Osmania University Centenary Celebrations

Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh is facing a massive setback at the overseas box office. The film is now projected to end its North America run at around $800K, a surprisingly low figure.

The movie had a modest start, with Premiere + Day 1 collections around $515K. For perspective, Hari Hara Veeramallu had already earned $800K from its Premiere alone and went on to collect around $1.25 million during its full North American run. By comparison, Ustaad Bhagat Singh’s performance is underwhelming.

Pratyangira Cinemas had provided an advance of ₹12 crore for the film across overseas territories, implying a break-even requirement of roughly $3 million. At best, the film may gross around $1.2 million globally, meaning the distributor’s share will be significantly lower.

Since this was an advance deal, Mythri Movie Makers will absorb the loss, but the recovery of funds will likely be delayed, creating a financial strain.
