Following an impressive opening on March 19, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has now entered the second day. Currently, the second day collections stand at Rs 4.11 crore.
Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh created a buzz among the Telugu fans. Apart from Pawan Kalyan's massive fan base in the South, the movie marked the reunion of the 'Gabbar Singh' duo with Harish Shankar back as the director. The movie has been a highly anticipated one following the huge success of They Call Him OG. Pawan Kalyan was back on big screens with his vintage-style action, making fans gush over nostalgia. The movie also features Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna.

As the movie entered day 2, Sacnilk's early estimates show a dip in the movie's collection as the figures slow down. After opening with a net collection of Rs 34.75 crore on Thursday, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has currently collected Rs 4.11 crore.
The first day of the movie marked a good collection of Rs 34.75 crore across 4,607 shows. The numbers, though impressive, were still low compared to the huge loyal fan base Pawan Kalyan has, amid the release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
On day 2, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is currently running across 2,476 shows with an average occupancy of 31.0%. The occupancy across major regions includes Hyderabad, with the majority of the shows, as it hosts 1,028 shows on day 2. It is followed by Bengaluru with 501 shows and Vizag-Visakhapatnam with 327 shows.
As of day 2, there is a surge in afternoon shows, as the major occupancy is reported then, with 34.31%. However, as per Sacnilk, morning shows have reported a 19.54% occupancy.
In account of day 2, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has now collected a total gross of Rs 45.85 crore and a total net collection of Rs 38.86 crore. With the week ending, the movie is expected to perform well over its opening weekend. However, the numbers can still be troubled with Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge also having its opening weekend.
As per reports, Ustaad Bhagat Singh locked in a strong pre-release collection of over Rs 126 crore. The Telugu states alone contributed to more than Rs 105 crore, raising the expectations of the movie's opening day weekend collection in the South.
