Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha reunited for the courtroom drama Assi, which released in theatres on February 20, 2025. Unfortunately, the response wasn’t very favorable, and the stiff competition will only make the journey tougher. The leading lady has scored her lowest opening in the last 3.5 years. Scroll below for a detailed day 1 report!
Assi Box Office Collection Day 1
According to estimates, Assi made an opening of 1 crore at the Indian box office. The pre-release buzz was lukewarm, which visibly affected footfalls on opening day. Besides, it is battling against O’Romeo, Do Deewane Seher Mein, Mardaani 3, and Border 2, among other ongoing releases. Unfortunately, the content also isn’t strong enough to create noise at the ticket windows.
Taapsee Pannu starrer opened in a direct clash with Do Deewane Seher Mein. It remained slightly lower than Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur’s romantic drama, which brought in 1.25 crore on day 1. But amid all the chaos, it has achieved a milestone. Assi entered the top 10 Bollywood openers of 2026. It tied with Happy Patel at the 6th spot.
