The box office journey of Mantra Muugdha has become one of the most exciting success stories in recent Odia cinema. While most films slow down after their opening weekend, this fantasy musical thriller surprised the trade industry by showing remarkable growth during its second week. The film has steadily built strong audience support across Odisha, and its second weekend collections prove that word-of-mouth publicity is now driving the movie toward a bigger theatrical milestone.
Directed by Anupam Patnaik, the film blends fantasy, suspense, adventure, supernatural mystery, and music into a unique cinematic experience that has connected strongly with younger audiences. Released on 1 May 2026, the movie initially opened with promising numbers, but its second week performance has now become the biggest talking point among Ollywood fans and trade analysts.
The film earned approximately ₹14.00 lakh net and ₹16.00 lakh gross on Day 1. The collections remained stable on Day 2 with around ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross. However, the real momentum started building from Day 3 when the movie collected approximately ₹17.00 lakh net and ₹19.00 lakh gross.
The strong weekend performance gave the movie a successful opening phase, but what impressed the industry most was the film’s ability to sustain collections during weekdays. Even after the initial weekend, Mantra Muugdha maintained decent occupancy across major Odisha centres including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Sambalpur, Berhampur, and Balasore.
On Day 4, the movie collected around ₹9.00 lakh net and ₹10.00 lakh gross. The collections improved again on Day 5 with approximately ₹12.00 lakh net and ₹14.00 lakh gross. Days 6, 7, and 8 remained highly stable as the movie consistently earned around ₹10.00 lakh net and ₹11.00 lakh gross daily.
This steady performance helped the movie enter its second weekend with excellent momentum. Positive audience reviews, appreciation for the fantasy storyline, and growing social media discussions helped the film gain new audiences during the second week.
The biggest surprise arrived during the second weekend. On Day 9, the film witnessed massive growth and collected approximately ₹18.00 lakh net and ₹20.00 lakh gross. The sudden jump clearly showed that audience interest was increasing instead of slowing down.
However, the most extraordinary performance came on Day 10, which turned out to be the film’s highest single-day collection so far. According to trade estimates, Mantra Muugdha earned approximately ₹23.00 lakh net and ₹25.00 lakh gross on second week Sunday.
This remarkable growth is extremely rare for Odia cinema because most regional releases generally witness collection drops after the first week. In the case of Mantra Muugdha, the opposite happened. The film became stronger during its second weekend as family audiences, youth viewers, and repeat audiences started filling theatres across Odisha.
Industry observers believe the film’s unique fantasy world, emotional storytelling, and strong musical presentation played a major role in creating repeat audience interest. Songs from the film also became increasingly popular online, helping sustain the movie’s visibility throughout the week.
