The gritty investigative drama Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran under the direction of Meghna Gulzar, has maintained a consistent performance at the box office since its Friday theatrical premiere, according to reports by Sacnilk. Having opened with a collection of ₹1 crore on its first day, the movie brought in ₹1.75 crore on Saturday and matched that same figure by 10 PM on Sunday. This steady weekend trajectory has pushed the feature's total India net earnings to ₹4.50 crore, while the gross collections have reached ₹5.40 crore.
In the film, Kapoor portrays Ajooni, the leader of a Special Investigation Team tasked with probing a controversial police encounter. The incident involves law enforcement officers—led by DCP Raman Kumar, played by Sukumaran—who shot and killed multiple suspects accused of gang-raping and murdering a young girl, maintaining that the men attempted to escape custody. The narrative unfolds as Ajooni delves deeper into the truth behind the official claims. Critics have generally received the project well, though reviews noted that while Kapoor commands a distinct screen presence, certain aspects of her portrayal carry a cinematic flair that contrasts with the heavy subject matter.
Discussing her career choices with ANI, Kapoor highlighted the stark differences between headlining this realistic procedural and appearing in commercial blockbusters like Rohit Shetty's larger-than-life cop franchise. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to easily navigate between such contrasting cinematic styles, emphasizing that every filmmaker builds an entirely unique universe.
