The Odia film industry is currently celebrating one of its most talked-about theatrical releases of 2026 as Mantra Muugdha continues to deliver strong box office numbers even after completing nine successful days in cinemas. Released on May 1, 2026, the fantasy musical thriller has steadily grown into a major crowd-puller across Odisha and outside-state markets.

Directed by Anupam Patnaik under the banner of Amiya Patnaik Production, the movie has impressed audiences with its fantasy-driven narrative, suspense-filled screenplay, emotional storytelling, magical atmosphere, and visually rich cinematic presentation. Unlike traditional commercial entertainers, Mantra Muugdha offers a unique blend of adventure, music, mystery, thriller, and fantasy elements, which has helped the film stand out in the Ollywood industry.

As the film entered its second weekend, audience interest increased once again, leading to a major jump in Day 9 collections. The latest box office figures indicate that the movie has successfully crossed the ₹1.25 crore gross milestone worldwide while maintaining a strong theatrical hold.

The fantasy thriller genre, visually ambitious trailer, and engaging soundtrack generated strong curiosity before release, which translated into healthy footfalls during the opening weekend.

On Day 2, the movie earned ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross. Although the collections witnessed a slight decline compared to the opening day, the occupancy remained stable across Odisha theatres.
