Did Ayushmann Khurrana’s Film Pass the Monday Test?
Opening & holiday run
Day 1 (launch day): approx ₹24 crore.
Day 2: ~₹18.6 crore.
Day 3: ~₹13 crore.
Day 4: ~₹10.5 crore (first weekday after the diwali holiday).
Day 5: ~₹13.1 crore.
Day 6: ~₹12.6 crore.
By Day 6, the domestic net total is ~₹91.70 crore.
Worldwide, the film reportedly crossed the ₹100 crore mark by the sixth day.
🤔 monday test (Day 7 & beyond)
The “Monday test” refers to how a film holds up after the big holiday/bright opening weekend and whether weekday drop-off is limited.
According to your figures, Day 7 earnings are ~₹1.47 crore and cumulative ~₹92.77 crore (though noted as not final).
If indeed Day 7 is only ~₹1.47 crore, that would be a very steep drop from ~₹12.6 crore on Day 6, signalling weak weekday hold.
However, other sources do not clearly list such a drastic drop; there is no reliable public figure I found confirming exactly ₹1.47 crore on Day 7.
📊 Verdict: Pass or Fail
Pass: The film has achieved a strong opening and holiday run, crossed major milestones, and has become one of the better performers of 2025 so far.
Fail / Weak monday hold: If the Day 7 drop to ~₹1.47 crore is accurate, it indicates it did not pass the monday test strongly — the weekday drop-off appears steep.
My assessment: The film is a success in terms of opening and total so far, but shows signs of weak weekday retention, so it does not convincingly “pass” the monday test in the sense of strong hold.
📝 Additional caveats
Budget: reported at ~₹145 crore.
Till Day 6, domestic nets ~₹91.7 crore — so the film hasn’t yet recovered its budget from domestic net alone (though worldwide earnings and future days may help).
Data for Day 7 and beyond is still “not final” and may change.
The drop on Day 4 was already noticeable (~₹10.5 crore) from the weekend peaks.
