The film released alongside Kunal Kemmu and Preity Zinta’s comedy Vibe, while Hanuman Ansh continued to dominate the box office.
Daayra opened to Rs 1.15 crore net on day one. It was a tight release across 700 cinemas, targeting key centres, with ticket sales showing an upward trend through the day as reviews and audience word of mouth gained momentum by evening. Overseas numbers are yet to come in.
Daayra is being screened in both Hindi and Malayalam, with the Hindi version accounting for the larger share of its theatrical footprint.
Daayra revolves around a brutal rape and murder case and the controversial police encounter that follows. Prithviraj’s DCP Raman Kumar and Kareena’s DCP Ajooni Kohli find themselves on opposing sides of the case, with the investigation raising questions around policing, accountability and the boundaries of justice.
Filmfare’s Review of Daayra
Filmfare gave Daayra 4.5 out of 5 stars and wrote in its review, “There are no easy answers here. Daayra occasionally tilts towards one side of its argument and gives Prithviraj the more compelling dramatic journey, but its refusal to provide a final verdict is ultimately appropriate. It is a hard-hitting, earthy crime drama that understands that the most disturbing part of a terrible crime may not be the crime itself, but what society chooses to do in its aftermath.”
