Nayyi Navelli box office collection day 1: Yami Gautam's mythological film collects ₹3 crore, fails to surpass Article 370 opening day haul
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Nayyi Navelli ticket-window earnings day 1: Yami Gautam in a still from the movie. Nayyi Navelli ticket-window report Nayyi Navelli brings a fantasy entertainer to the big screen, where folklore meets unexpected twists, quirky characters and larger-than-life entertainment. The latest update from Sacnilk states that the movie has collected ₹ 3.25 crore rupees. All eyes are on how the movie performs over the next two days to manage a good opening weekend haul.
Adding to this, Nayyi Navelli has performed better than Rajkummar Rao's Prahaar, which collected ₹ 2.35 crore rupees on its opening day. However, the movie failed to beat the opening day haul of Yami's 2024 rollout Article 370, which had managed ₹ 5.90 crore rupees.
Meanwhile, Set in Meerut, it revolves around a man who accuses his bhabhi (played by Yami) of being a witch, even while her husband and in-laws are fond of her. One day, her husband transforms into a monster, and we are told that it is all linked to Kaal Sheel, a mysterious stone dating back to the Treta Yuga. What follows is a heavy blend of mythology with humour.
Notably, Directed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, the movie also stars Addinath M Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vashisht, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee and Pratiek Pachori in pivotal roles. Produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, the movie features music by G V Prakash Kumar.
As per the latest buzz, An excerpt from the HT review of Nayyi Navelli read, “Nayyi Navelli is a movie that mistakes excess for entertainment and confusion for complexity. Its basic storyline offers enough scope for a blend of mythology and comedy, but the execution fails to do justice to the ideas. The screenplay needed sharper writing, yet it keeps piling on subplots and eccentric characters, hoping that something will eventually click. Yami tries to hold things together, but even her performance cannot compensate for the narrative's shortcomings. 'Nayyi Navelli' may mean something new, but there is precious little that's fresh about the movie itself.”
