The Odia film industry has witnessed one of the most surprising and exciting box office success stories of 2026 through Mantra Muugdha. Directed by Anupam Patnaik, the fantasy musical thriller has emerged as a major attraction among Ollywood audiences because of its visually rich storytelling, supernatural mystery, emotional narrative, and strong musical presentation.

Released on 1 May 2026, the film started with promising collections and gradually transformed into one of the most talked-about Odia theatrical successes of the year. While many films witness declining collections after the opening weekend, Mantra Muugdha surprised everyone by recording its highest single-day collection during the second week Sunday.

According to current trade estimates, the movie collected approximately ₹23.00 lakh net and ₹25.00 lakh gross on Day 10, making it the biggest collection day of the film so far. The outstanding growth reflects the film’s increasing popularity among audiences across Odisha.

Strong Opening Helped Build Initial Momentum

Mantra Muugdha opened with a strong response at the Odisha box office. On Day 1, the movie earned approximately ₹14.00 lakh net and ₹16.00 lakh gross. The film generated strong curiosity because of its fantasy adventure theme and supernatural storyline, which felt fresh compared to traditional Ollywood commercial releases.

The collections remained stable on Day 2 with around ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross. Although slightly lower than opening day, the occupancy remained positive across major Odisha centres including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Sambalpur, Berhampur, Balasore, and Rourkela.

The movie witnessed excellent growth on Day 3 as positive audience reactions started spreading rapidly. The film earned approximately ₹17.00 lakh net and ₹19.00 lakh gross, giving the film a highly successful opening weekend total.

Fantasy Storytelling and Music Became Major Strengths

One of the biggest reasons behind the success of Mantra Muugdha has been its fresh cinematic approach. The film combines fantasy, suspense, music, mystery, emotional drama, and adventure into a visually engaging theatrical experience.

The performances of Sanoj Kumar, Manmay Dey, Sarthak Bharadwaj, Dipanwit Dasmohapatra, Suryamayee Mohapatra, and Bhoomika Dash received appreciation from audiences. The chemistry between the characters, combined with supernatural storytelling elements, helped the movie attract younger audiences and repeat viewers.

The soundtrack also played an important role in sustaining audience interest. Songs like Jalsa, Love Is Crazy, and Daba Bhitare Pas became increasingly popular on social media platforms and music streaming services, helping the film maintain visibility even after the opening week.

Weekday Collections Remained Stable

After the successful opening weekend, the movie witnessed natural weekday drops but continued maintaining respectable numbers. On Day 4, the film collected approximately ₹9.00 lakh net and ₹10.00 lakh gross.

The collections improved once again on Day 5 with around ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross. Days 6, 7, and 8 remained stable as the movie earned approximately ₹10.00 lakh net and ₹11.00 lakh gross consistently.

This stable weekday performance became extremely important because it helped the film build momentum before entering its second weekend. Positive audience reactions and repeat viewership kept the occupancy healthy across Odisha.

Second Week Sunday Became the Film’s Biggest Day

The biggest turning point arrived during the second weekend. On Day 9, the movie witnessed massive growth and collected approximately ₹18.00 lakh net and ₹20.00 lakh gross.

However, the biggest surprise came on Day 10. The movie exploded at the box office and recorded approximately ₹23.00 lakh net and ₹25.00 lakh gross, making it the film’s highest collection day so far.

This kind of second-week growth is considered extremely rare for Odia cinema. Instead of slowing down after the first week, Mantra Muugdha gained momentum because of strong word-of-mouth publicity and increasing audience curiosity.

The film’s fantasy world, emotional storytelling, mystery-driven screenplay, and musical presentation continued attracting new audiences even after its first week in theatres.
