Nayyi Navelli Day 10 Box Office: Rs 32.31 Cr Worldwide

Yami Gautam’s horror-comedy Nayyi Navelli is making a case for patience at the box office. The film collected Rs 95 lakh in India net revenue on its second Sunday, a 5.6% rise over Saturday, according to Sacnilk. That pushed its worldwide gross to Rs 32.31 cr after ten days in cinemas.

The day-10 numbers at a glance

The domestic gross has climbed to Rs 29.21 cr, while the India net total stands at Rs 24.60 cr. Overseas markets added Rs 10 lakh on Sunday, taking the international total to Rs 3.10 cr. The film’s second weekend brought in Rs 2.45 cr, starting with Rs 0.60 cr on Friday and Rs 90 lakh on Saturday before Sunday’s small bounce.

• Worldwide gross: Rs 32.31 cr
• India net total: Rs 24.60 cr
• Second-weekend India net: Rs 2.45 cr
• Sunday Hindi 2D occupancy: 24.99%

Why Sunday’s uptick matters

A single-day rise of 5.6% is not a blockbuster turnaround, but it does keep the film moving in the right direction after a soft Friday. The opening week had closed at Rs 22.15 cr, so second-weekend numbers are a much smaller stream. The real test is whether weekday audiences keep turning up now that show counts have shrunk.

That is a modest but meaningful climb from the day-one opening of Rs 3.25 cr and the first Sunday’s Rs 4.40 cr high. Tuesday also delivered a strong Rs 4.35 cr before the week tapered. Now the film is playing in roughly 1,300 shows daily, compared with more than 6,000 on opening day.

Sunday’s footfall reached 44,527 viewers, lifting cumulative admissions to 1,211,579 since release. Occupancy data shows evening shows led the day at 33.38%, followed by afternoon at 27.31% and night at 21.38%; morning shows brought up the rear at 11.69%.

The world it invites us into

Nayyi Navelli marks Balaji Mohan’s Bollywood debut. Yami Gautam stars as Mohini, a new bride whose arrival seems to quiet a chaotic Meerut household. Suspicion falls when her brother-in-law wonders if she is a daayan or something more malevolent, and the plot turns towards the Ramayana. The ensemble includes Adinath Kothare, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vashisht and Sushmita Mukherjee, with music by G. V. Prakash Kumar.

For Hindi film fans, the genre mash-up is the hook: horror, comedy and myth in one package. But the box office shows the film is walking, not sprinting. If weekday numbers stay above the Friday lows, it could find a longer theatrical life; if they slide, the conversation will shift to recovery on streaming and satellite.
