📌 Mirai opened strongly with ₹45.5 Cr in its first weekend, but weekdays witnessed a sharp drop. The film regained some momentum during its second weekend, especially on Day 9 and Day 10. With a total of ₹112.7 Cr worldwide in 10 days, the film is performing decently but needs sustained collections to be called a big hit.
Despite not completing its first week yet, the trend indicates that sustaining momentum beyond the opening weekend could be challenging unless strong word of mouth kicks in.
Mirai Review
Film critic Taran Adarsh gave Mirai a rating of 3.5/5 stars, calling it a “visually spectacular entertainer that keeps you hooked for the most part.” He praised the breathtaking VFX, the grandeur of the action sequences, and the film’s emotional depth.
High-voltage interval block
Action-packed sequences in the second half
A grand and emotional finale
Taran also noted some drawbacks, such as forced comedy in the first half and a cop subplot that felt unnecessary.
Teja Sajja impresses with energy and conviction.
Manchu Manoj shines as the villain, making the hero-villain clash one of the strongest elements.
Jagapathi Babu and Shriya Saran deliver impactful supporting performances.
With its ₹50 crore budget, big-screen visuals, and engaging storytelling, Mirai is shaping up as one of the most ambitious Telugu films of 2025. Directed by Karthik Gattamneni and Anil Anand, the film manages to strike a balance between action spectacle and emotional depth. While not flawless, it has all the ingredients of a commercial entertainer worth watching in theatres.
