The Odia film industry has witnessed one of its most talked-about theatrical successes of 2026 with Mantra Muugdha. Since its grand theatrical release on 1 May 2026, the fantasy musical thriller has been steadily attracting audiences to theatres across Odisha and outside markets like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, and Mumbai.

Directed by Anupam Patnaik, the movie blends adventure, fantasy, suspense, music, and supernatural elements into an engaging cinematic experience. The film’s unique storytelling style, visually rich presentation, emotional character arcs, and powerful musical atmosphere have helped it create strong buzz among Odia cinema fans.

Now, after completing ten successful days at the box office, Mantra Muugdha has officially crossed the major milestone of ₹1.51 crore gross worldwide. According to the latest trade estimates, the movie has earned approximately ₹1.35 crore net during its first ten days in theatres.

Strong Opening Helped Build Momentum

The film began its box office journey on an excellent note. On its opening day, Day 1, Mantra Muugdha collected around ₹14.00 lakh net and ₹16.00 lakh gross. The strong opening clearly reflected the anticipation surrounding the movie before release.

The positive response continued during the first weekend as the film earned ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross on Day 2. Although there was a slight drop compared to opening day, audience occupancy remained stable across major Odisha centres.

The biggest jump during the opening phase came on Day 3, when the movie witnessed strong audience turnout and collected an impressive ₹17.00 lakh net and ₹19.00 lakh gross. This major rise confirmed that positive word-of-mouth publicity was working strongly in favour of the film.

Weekday Hold Remained Stable

After a successful opening weekend, the film naturally saw a slight drop during weekdays. Day 4 collections stood at approximately ₹9.00 lakh net and ₹10.00 lakh gross. However, the movie maintained healthy occupancy because of its fantasy storyline, musical presentation, and visually rich cinematic experience.

The film bounced back again on Day 5 by earning ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross. The audience response remained highly positive, especially among younger viewers and family audiences interested in fantasy and suspense-based storytelling.

Days 6, 7, and 8 remained stable for the movie as it consistently earned around ₹10.00 lakh net and ₹11.00 lakh gross daily. This level of consistency after the first weekend is considered a positive sign for Odia films.

The film’s musical soundtrack, emotional sequences, fantasy elements, and visually appealing production design continued attracting audiences throughout the first week and into the second weekend.

Massive Growth During Second Weekend

The second weekend turned out to be another major boost for the movie. On Day 9, Mantra Muugdha recorded a strong jump by collecting approximately ₹18.00 lakh net and ₹20.00 lakh gross.

The momentum became even stronger on Day 10 as the film earned its highest single-day collection so far with around ₹23.00 lakh net and ₹25.00 lakh gross. These figures clearly indicate that the audience interest around the movie is still growing.

The strong second weekend collections helped the movie comfortably cross the ₹1 crore net mark and establish itself as one of the biggest Odia theatrical performers of 2026 so far.

Audience Response Driving the Film’s Success

One of the biggest reasons behind the success of Mantra Muugdha is its strong audience connection. Unlike conventional commercial films, the movie offers a blend of fantasy, suspense, emotional drama, and musical storytelling rarely seen in Odia cinema.

The performances of Sanoj Kumar, Manmay Dey, Sarthak Bharadwaj, Dipanwit Dasmohapatra, Suryamayee Mohapatra, and Bhoomika Dash have received appreciation from viewers.

The soundtrack and background score have also become a major highlight for audiences. Songs like Jalsa, Love Is Crazy, and Daba Bhitare Pas have gained popularity among younger audiences and social media users.

Visually, the movie has impressed audiences with its fantasy-inspired world-building, cinematic visuals, and supernatural atmosphere. Many viewers have praised the film for attempting something fresh and different in the Ollywood industry.

Mantra Muugdha Continues Strong Theatrical Run

Crossing ₹1.51 crore gross worldwide within just ten days is a significant achievement for an Odia film. The strong second weekend collections clearly indicate that audience interest in the film remains high.

As the movie enters its next phase at the box office, all eyes will now be on how strongly it can sustain itself during weekdays and upcoming weekends. With positive audience reactions and continued theatrical support, Mantra Muugdha is expected to continue its impressive run in Odisha and outside markets.
