Quick Read
- Day 19 (Tuesday 3 November): Rs 23 lakh net in India, from 924 shows.
- Total India net: Rs 23.65 crore. India gross: Rs 28.04 crore.
- Worldwide gross: Rs 31.07 crore. Overseas gross: Rs 3.03 crore.
Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story earned Rs 23 lakh net in India on Day 19. The day was Tuesday, 3 November. Trade tracker Sacnilk marks this figure final.
The film released on 16 October 2026. Count forward from there. Day 19 lands on Tuesday, 3 November. The date mapping is correct.
Day 19 rose sharply from Day 18. Sacnilk’s final figures put Day 18 at Rs 17 lakh. Day 19 is up 35.3% on that. A 35% jump sounds big. In cash terms, it is Rs 6 lakh more. Small numbers make big percentages. Keep both in view.
The film ran 924 shows on Day 19. Occupancy was 12.0%. That is more shows than Ranabaali’s 487 on the same day, for similar money. More shows, thinner crowds.
A note on the Day 18 figure — read this before comparing
Yesterday’s early reports put Day 18 at Rs 19 lakh, with a total of Rs 23.44 crore. Sacnilk’s final figures have revised Day 18 down to Rs 17 lakh. That revision explains the totals in this post.
Work it through. A Day 18 of Rs 17 lakh, not Rs 19 lakh, lowers the old total by Rs 2 lakh. Then add Day 19’s Rs 23 lakh. You land on the published total of Rs 23.65 crore. This post uses the revised final figures throughout. Bollywood Hungama’s separate Day 18 figure (Rs 18 lakh, total Rs 23.50 crore) is a different tracker’s count and is not mixed in.

Where the total stands now
India net after 19 days is Rs 23.65 crore. India gross is Rs 28.04 crore. Overseas gross is Rs 3.03 crore. Worldwide gross is Rs 31.07 crore. That last figure is the sum of India gross and overseas: 28.04 plus 3.03 equals 31.07. The maths checks out.
One flag on that worldwide figure. Sacnilk’s own movie summary header shows worldwide at Rs 30.81 crore, while its day-wise totals add to Rs 31.07 crore, matching The Times of India’s Day 19 report. This post uses Rs 31.07 crore, the figure that matches the published India gross plus overseas. The Rs 30.81 crore header figure is noted here and not mixed in.
The film is a Hindi biographical legal drama. Rajkummar Rao plays public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. Avinash Arun directed it. It revisits major criminal trials from Nikam’s career.
Desk-original added context: the last four days
Own compilation from Sacnilk-based daily reports, revised final figures for Day 18: Day 16, Saturday 31 October, Rs 60 lakh; Day 17, Sunday 1 November, Rs 61 lakh; Day 18, Monday 2 November, Rs 17 lakh (revised from early Rs 19 lakh); Day 19, Tuesday 3 November, Rs 23 lakh.
Four days together added Rs 1.61 crore net. The weekend gave Rs 1.21 crore of that. Monday crashed to Rs 17 lakh. Tuesday recovered a little to Rs 23 lakh. The pattern is a film running on weekend leftovers, with weak weekdays in between.
Day 19’s Rs 23 lakh is about 9.8% of the opening day’s Rs 2.35 crore. The opening itself was modest. The film never found a big weekday audience after that.
Budget: why no hit-or-flop verdict is given here
Budget reports for Prahaar disagree too much to support a verdict. The Times of India’s Day 16 report gives two numbers: a reported production budget of Rs 60 crore, and an overall cost of around Rs 70 crore including prints and advertising, per Bollymoviereviewz. Filmibeat, quoting trade analyst Rohit Jaiswal, gives a third, far lower figure: Rs 25–30 crore including promotion, with a Rs 50 crore India target for a clean hit.
Those cannot all be right. Against Rs 60 crore, the gap on worldwide gross is Rs 28.93 crore. Against Rs 70 crore, it is Rs 38.93 crore. Against Rs 25–30 crore, the picture changes entirely. Gross is also not profit share. Theatres and distributors take a cut first, and non-theatrical revenue is not in these tables.
So this post gives no hit-or-flop verdict. The honest line is simpler. The reported budget is disputed. The theatrical gross is Rs 31.07 crore. Readers should not trust any verdict built on one picked budget number.
What to watch next
The film needs shows to stay alive. It still has 924 shows, which is more than its daily money would suggest. If shows fall next week, daily money falls with them. If the weekend lifts again, the run stretches a little longer.
For now, the story is a small Tuesday rise inside a slow run. Rs 23 lakh is better than Rs 17 lakh. It is still a long way from the opening weekend’s pace.
Flagged conflicts, not mixed: (1) Sacnilk’s movie summary header shows worldwide Rs 30.81 crore, against Rs 31.07 crore from its day-wise India gross plus overseas. (2) Budget: Rs 60 crore production vs around Rs 70 crore including prints and advertising (Bollymoviereviewz via The Times of India), vs Rs 25–30 crore including promotion (Filmibeat / Rohit Jaiswal). No verdict is drawn from any of these.
