Pawan Kalyan‘s Ustaad Bhagat Singh has emerged as a shocking disaster at the box office, failing to cross even the ₹100 Cr gross mark in its full run — a rare miss for a top-tier Telugu star.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh ₹100 Cr: Final Box Office Run
Released on March 19th, Ustaad Bhagat Singh ended its theatrical run below ₹100 Cr gross. Here are the big-star films (six Tier-1 stars, along with Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna) that failed to cross the ₹100 Cr mark in the Telugu version post-COVID:
| # | Film |
|---|---|
| 1 | Acharya |
| 2 | Godfather |
| 3 | Bhola Shankar |
| 4 | War 2 |
| 5 | Ustaad Bhagat Singh |
What Went Wrong for UBS?
Despite coming with the combination of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar — who had earlier delivered Gabbar Singh — Ustaad Bhagat Singh couldn’t generate even decent first-day collections. It effectively wrapped up its run within four days.
The underperformance adds to growing questions around Pawan Kalyan‘s box office pull, with Ustaad Bhagat Singh now joining a rare list of big-star post-COVID disasters in Telugu cinema.
