Bhaimon Da scripts history at Assamese Box Office, Bondip Sarma starrer collects Rs 8.75 crore in 5 weeks
Bhaimon Da, written and directed by Sasanka Samir, is storming the box office left, right, and center. Though the movie took a slow start, it picked up well and emerged as a big surprise for the Assamese box office. The movie witnessed a superlative word-of-mouth, which kept attracting the crowd to the cinemas.
Bhaimon Da scripts history in Assam, storms Rs 8.75 crore in 5 weeks
Starring Bondip Sarma in the lead, along with an ensemble supporting cast, the movie was released in cinemas on May 23, 2025. It started with just Rs 14 lakh on its opening day but went on to storm Rs 2.03 crore by the end of its first week, thanks to its glorious audience reception.
The movie kept on gaining traction and collected Rs 2.86 crore in its second week, followed by Rs 2.29 crore in another smashing week. It further added Rs 1.06 crore in its fourth week, taking the four-week total to a massive Rs 8.24 crore. Bhaimon Da added Rs 50 lakh to the tally in its fifth week, bringing its cume to Rs 8.75 crore net at the Assam box office.
Bhaimon Da turns Super-Hit, still misses huge profits
Despite the remarkable box office trajectory of Bhaimon Da, the regional movie is unlikely to generate significant profits, as no major streaming platform is willing to acquire such regional movies from Northeast India. Had the OTT and satellite players treated Assam movies like other mainstream cinema, the makers would have enjoyed this massive feat with huge profits. The production cost of Bhaimon Da is around Rs 5 crore.
For the unversed, Bhaimon Da is the biographical drama of legendary Assamese filmmaker Munin Barua. Besides Bondip Sarma, the movie also stars Yasashree Bhuyan, Anurag Bora, Samudragupta Dutta, Harpal Saikia, Gitartha Sharmah, Partha Pratim Hazarika, Kaushik Bharadwaj, Nirupan Saikia, Jay Saikia, Deepjyoti Keot, Gunakar Dev Goswami, Pakeeza Begum, Arghadeep Barua, Boibhobi Goswami, Shilpi Sikha Bora, and Ashish Vidyarthi.

Maa Day 1 India Box Office: Kajol's film springs a surprise; Nets Rs 4.25 crore amidst competition from F1 and Sitaare Zameen Par
Kajol led Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, has opened to a respectable Rs 4-4.50 crore at the Indian box office. This is a solid start for the film, especially considering the tough competition it faces. The holdover juggernaut Sitaare Zameen Par, the Hollywood biggie F1, and the new South Indian ensemble Kannappa are all craving for audience attention. Despite this, Maa has managed to carve out its space, and that's no small feat. Maa Opens To Rs 4.25 Crore Net On Day 1 In India; Good Start Amidst Stiff Competition The film released across 1500 screens in India, which is a modest count. Many screens are sharing shows with other movies, limiting Maa's showtimes. Yet, the Rs 4.25 crore opening is a pleasant surprise. The film's connection to the Shaitaan universe has played a big role in drawing audiences. Without this link, the opening could have been lower. Fans of Shaitaan are curious to see how Maa fits into this supernatural world, and that curiosity has given the film a boost. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Maa Are As Under Maa Shall Have To Show Strong Growth Over The Weekend And Then Steady Itself Over The Weekdays A Rs 4 crore start gives Maa a strong foundation to grow. If word-of-mouth is positive, the film could see a good jump over the weekend. The target now is to sustain this momentum. A healthy weekend performance could put Maa on the path to success. The film's budget is on the higher side for a female-led project, which makes these early numbers crucial. However, Maa has secured strong non-theatrical deals, thanks to its Shaitaan connection. These deals provide a financial cushion, easing some of the pressure on box office performance. Maa Is Aided By Ticket Booking Offers One key factor in Maa's day 1 collections is the Buy 2 Get 1 offer on BookMyShow. This deal has encouraged group bookings, thus boosting ticket sales. The offer has been a smart move, especially in a crowded market where audiences have multiple options. It's helped Maa attract families and younger viewers, who are drawn to Kajol 's star power and the film's intriguing premise. All Eyes Are On How Maa Performs In The Days To Follow If Maa maintains steady collections after a good first weekend of around Rs 17 crore, it could emerge as a success story. For now, Maa's Rs 4.25 crore opening is a promising start. The stage is set for Kajol's film to shine. You can watch Maa in theatres, now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Maa.
