However, Udta Teer managed to beat the opening-day figures of Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui at ₹3.75 crore and Doctor G at ₹3.87 crore.

Context

Opening-day box office figures for mid-budget Hindi films often depend heavily on early festival advantages and star-led marketing campaigns. Spy comedies and genre films rely on positive word of mouth over the first weekend to sustain ticket sales against competing releases.
