Spy Comedy Film Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan Opens in Theatres

The new spy comedy film Udta Teer has arrived in cinema halls, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. Akash A Kaushik makes his directorial debut with this project, which brought in Rs 2.59 crore through advance ticket sales for its first day. Industry tracking data from Sacnilk points to a projected opening day net collection between Rs 3 and Rs 5 crore as reviews start to come out.

Release Bans and Plot

While opening in domestic markets, the movie faced a block abroad after Nepal authorities refused to clear it for theatrical screening. The distributor, National Cine Group, received a formal letter from the ministry stating that the Central Film Censor Board flagged the movie under Section 8(3) of the National Cinema Act of 2026. The story centers on a Pakistani agent named Bilal, played by Khurrana, who gets amnesia following an explosion and believes he works for the Indian Counter-Terrorism Squad. Sara Ali Khan stars alongside him as a fellow officer unaware of his true background, marking their second time sharing the screen after their 2026 romantic comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh Do.

Production and Cast

Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment backed the project, which features a large supporting cast including Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Raghubir Yadav, and Supriya Pilgaonkar. The makers previously pushed the release date from October 9 to secure a better window in theatres.

Context

Advance ticket sales and opening day projections give a clear early read on how a new movie will perform at the box office before full weekend numbers roll in. Censor boards in different countries regularly review foreign films against local laws before granting permission for public screenings.
