Rajkummar Rao’s courtroom thriller *Prahaar* has a mixed start at the box office, with reports placing its day-one earnings at Rs 2.35 crore in India and Rs 3.52 crore worldwide. The overseas gross is reported at about Rs 75 lakh. The film is positioned as a courtroom drama focused on public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and major criminal cases.
Different outlets characterize the opening differently. Times of India highlights the debut as “impressive,” citing early audience response and praising a balanced portrayal of serious criminal-justice themes without sensationalism. NDTV, by contrast, describes the opening as “lukewarm,” indicating that initial collections have not met higher expectations, even as the film’s subject matter and performances draw attention.
