Rao Bahadur collected ₹1.02Cr on Day 3, taking its lifetime India net to ₹4.85Cr.

A soft opening with a significant drop from the previous day.
Day 3 Snapshot
Day 3 India Net₹1.02Cr
Lifetime India Net₹4.85Cr
Worldwide Gross₹8.52Cr
Budget₹40.00Cr
vs Previous Day-58.0%
The film has had a disappointing start. After a relatively better Day 2, it witnessed a sharp 58% drop on Day 3. At ₹4.85Cr in three days against a ₹40Cr budget, Rao Bahadur is significantly behind where it needs to be.
The early trajectory does not look promising, and the film will need a very strong weekend to improve its commercial outlook.
Reality check: Rao Bahadur has opened weakly. Given the sharp drop on Day 3 and its high budget, the film faces an uphill battle to recover its cost.
