Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:

Mirzapur The Movie worldwide ticket-window earnings day 3: It took all of three days for Mirzapur : The Movie to coast past the ₹ 100-crore rupees mark worldwide. Buoyed by excellent domestic collections, the gangster action thriller has now become the number one movie at the Indian ticket-window and is on its way to becoming a certified smash hit.

Adding to this, Mirzapur The Movie worldwide ticket-window earnings day 3: Divyenndu, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal reunite for the movie. Mirzapur The Movie ticket-window update The Mirzapur movie had a spectacular opening at the domestic ticket-window on Friday. Lifted by exceptional response in mass centres of UP and Bihar, the movie minted ₹ 25 crore rupees on its first day. On Saturday, it saw a jump of over 25%, minting ₹ 32 crore rupees, and on Sunday, it saw another jump, earning ₹ 36 crore rupees. This gave the movie a three-day haul of ₹ 93.75 crore rupees net ( ₹ 112.35 crore rupees gross). This is one of the best opening weekends for an Indian movie this year, and certainly the best ever by a Hindi movie without any big star. On Sunday, Mirzapur: The Movie saw occupancy of almost 67% for its Hindi version, with the night shows almost 75% full across India.

Meanwhile, The bulk of Mirzapur’s earnings has come from India, but it has been a success overseas as well. The movie started off slowly internationally, but then picked up over the weekend. By Sunday, it had collected an impressive $2.1 million overseas, largely from North America and the Middle East. This takes the movie’s worldwide haul after three days to ₹ 132 crore rupees.

Notably, Mirzapur: The Movie entered the top-10 highest-grossing Hindi films of the year with its haul on Sunday. With a worldwide gross of ₹ 132 crore rupees, it now sits in the 8th spot. Its entry in the list meant that Alpha, the Alia Bhatt-starrer that collected ₹ 98 crore rupees worldwide, was edged out of the top 10. On Sunday, Mirzapur: The Movie also overtook the lifetime collections of two other successes - Main Vaapas Aaunga ( ₹ 99 crore rupees) and Raja Shivaji ( ₹ 130 crore rupees). Its stupendous Sunday also enabled the gangster drama to overtake another Hindi movie that is making waves in cinemas right now - Hanuman Ansh. The devotional movie has a gross of ₹ 125 crore rupees as of Sunday, with Mirzapur outpacing it in day-to-day collections.

As per the latest buzz, Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmeet Singh, written by Puneet Krishna, and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment.
