Yami Gautam's latest cinematic outing, the horror-comedy 'Nayyi Navelli', continues its theatrical run, having accumulated a worldwide gross of Rs 33.22 crore as of Tuesday, October 27. The film, which marks the Bollywood directorial debut of Tamil filmmaker Balaji Mohan, has seen its domestic net collection in India reach Rs 25.30 crore since its release on October 16, 2026. While the project enjoyed significant momentum during its opening week, recent data suggests a plateau in daily footfall as it enters the latter stages of its theatrical window.
According to figures released on Tuesday, the movie earned Rs 35 lakhs in the Indian market, a performance consistent with the previous day's collections. Alongside these domestic returns, the film has generated Rs 3.20 crore from overseas markets. The total domestic gross, which combines the net earnings with applicable taxes, currently stands at Rs 30.02 crore. Despite the softening of daily numbers, the film recorded 1,291 shows across India on its 12th day, drawing in an estimated 30,079 tickets throughout the day.
The film’s trajectory shows a marked distinction between its initial performance and its second-week trajectory. Following a strong opening day of Rs 3.25 crore, the movie’s earnings climbed steadily, peaking during its first weekend. By the conclusion of its first seven days, the domestic net total had reached Rs 22.15 crore. However, the commencement of the second week saw a shift in pace. While weekend improvements were noted, with earnings reaching Rs 95 lakhs on the second Sunday, the daily figures have since stabilized at lower levels, recording Rs 35 lakhs on both the second Monday and Tuesday.
Occupancy rates for the Hindi 2D version of the film have reflected this trend, with an overall occupancy of 13.28% recorded on Day 12. Analysis of the daily show schedule indicates that audience interest varied throughout the day, with morning screenings recording 5.92% occupancy, while night shows saw the highest engagement at 21.31%. Looking ahead, advance bookings for the 13th day, Wednesday, October 28, showed promise with 16,270 tickets already reserved across 1,386 shows by 5 am, accumulating Rs 35.85 lakh in gross revenue.
Written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, 'Nayyi Navelli' is set against a backdrop in Meerut. The narrative revolves around a bride whose arrival in a chaotic household is initially seen as a source of newfound happiness. However, the plot takes a darker, genre-bending turn as her brother-in-law begins to suspect that their recent good fortune may be tied to something supernatural, forcing the characters to question the bride’s true identity.
The film's performance remains subject to fluctuations as official studio data is finalized and international reports are integrated into the cumulative total. While the initial surge in the first week helped establish a solid foundation for the film, the challenge for the coming days lies in maintaining visibility against new releases. For now, the production, backed by the unique blend of horror and comedy, continues to serve as a noteworthy entry in the 2026 Hindi film slate, having successfully crossed the Rs 33 crore mark globally.
