Teja Sajja’s much-awaited superhero film Mirai has finally hit the screens, and the buzz has clearly translated into numbers at the box office. On its opening day, Mirai collected around ₹10.7 crore nett in India, while some reports suggest the figure touches ₹12 crore gross worldwide. Either way, this marks the actor’s career-best opening till date. Directed by Karthik Gattamneni and mounted on a budget of nearly ₹60 crore, Mirai was expected to start strong, and the film didn’t disappoint. With packed shows in Telugu states and good numbers in the Hindi belt too, the film is off to a flying start.
Mirai vs HanuMan: Who Wins the Box Office Race?
Teja Sajja’s last outing HanuMan was a record-breaking blockbuster, but its first-day numbers were slightly lower. HanuMan opened at about ₹8 crore nett in India, whereas Mirai managed to cross the ₹10 crore mark on day one itself. While HanuMan had the advantage of long legs at the box office, Mirai has already set a higher opening benchmark for the actor.
Comparing with Mahavatar Narsimbha
When it comes to the recent mythological hit Mahavatar Narsimbha, the comparison is even more interesting. The film may have gone on to cross ₹300 crore worldwide, but its Day 1 collection was much smaller—around ₹1.4 crore in Hindi. In contrast, Mirai’s double-digit start shows how strongly the superhero flick has connected with audiences right from the first day.
How Does Mirai Stand Against Other New Releases?
The opening day clash with Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle made things exciting, but Mirai clearly had the upper hand in India. Meanwhile, films like Madharaasi managed strong numbers (₹13 crore approx), yet Teja Sajja’s movie has proven that it can comfortably compete with big titles across languages.
With the best opening of Teja Sajja’s career, Mirai has set the stage for a solid run ahead. Beating HanuMan’s first-day numbers and staying ahead of Mahavatar Narsimbha’s Hindi debut, the film is showing early signs of turning into another major blockbuster. All eyes are now on the weekend trend to see just how big Mirai can go.
