Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer spy comedy Udta Teer failed to sustain its weekend momentum at the box office, collecting Rs 3.15 crore nett on its first Monday, trade figures show.

Directed by Aakash Kaushik, the film recorded a 61.6 per cent decline from Sunday’s collection of Rs 8.20 crore nett, taking its total domestic nett earnings to Rs 22.70 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

Its worldwide gross collection stands at Rs 33.87 crore.

Udta Teer, which released in theatres last week, recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 16.25 per cent on Monday across 5,805 shows. Morning screenings registered 6.69 per cent occupancy, which rose to 18.15 per cent in the afternoon before settling at 15.31 per cent in the evening and 20.62 per cent during night shows.

The film’s first-Monday collection is lower than Khurrana’s recent releases, including Dream Girl 2 (2023), which earned Rs 5.42 crore nett on the corresponding day, Thamma (2025), which collected Rs 4.30 crore nett, and Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (2026), which earned Rs 3.25 crore nett.

The spy comedy has also outperformed its current box-office competitors Nayyi Navelli, starring Yami Gautam, and Rajkummar Rao-led Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, which collected Rs 2.65 crore nett and Rs 2 crore nett, respectively.

The film faces competition from Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, which collected Rs 9.45 crore nett on Monday, according to Sacnilk. Jailer 2 has earned Rs 731 crore gross worldwide so far.
