The film, which hit theatres worldwide on January 22, 2026, entered cinemas with reasonable expectations but has seen noticeable day-to-day variations as it moved past the initial release buzz.
According to early estimates reported by trade tracking portal Sacnilk, Chatha Pacha has collected approximately ₹12.71 crore (India net) by the end of Day 6. The film opened on its first Thursday with ₹3.4 crore, indicating a solid start driven largely by curiosity around its wrestling-themed premise and ensemble cast. However, collections dipped on Friday, with the film earning around ₹2.1 crore, marking a drop of over 38 percent.
The weekend offered some relief, as Saturday collections held steady at ₹2.15 crore, followed by a more visible jump on Sunday, when the film added ₹2.7 crore to its total. This Sunday growth suggested increased footfall from viewers during the weekend window. Weekday numbers declined thereafter. Monday saw earnings of ₹1.65 crore, while Tuesday registered a sharper fall, with Day 6 collections estimated at ₹0.71 crore, based on early and rough figures.
By the end of its sixth day, the cumulative total stood at ₹12.71 crore. With January 28 marking Day 7 of its theatrical run, industry observers are now watching closely to see how the film performs during the remainder of the first full weekday cycle, which often plays a key role in determining a film’s short-term box office stability.
