However, when placed alongside Pawan Kalyan's recent films, the Day 1 figures are lower than his recent releases. His previous release, They Call Him OG, which arrived in September 2025, had reportedly opened higher with a Day 1 net of ₹63.75 crore. Similarly, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, released in July 2025, registered an opening day net of ₹34.75 crore. In comparison, Ustaad Bhagat Singh opened lower.

The coming days, particularly the extended festive weekend, will be crucial in determining the film's overall box office trajectory. As of March 20 (Day 2), attention remains on whether the film can maintain momentum through positive word of mouth and holiday footfall.
