New Delhi. Friday is considered very important for films because on this day new films enter the cinemas and there is a challenge to maintain their hold in front of the already running films. Also on 18th September 2026, new films like Daira and Vibe hit the box office. On the other hand, the competition for earnings is also going on between Hanuman Ansh Mirzapur The Movie Haiwaan and Irumudi, already present in cinemas. If we look at the initial figures, there is a lot of difference in the performance of these films.
The audience had high expectations from Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran's film Daira. The film was released on September 18 but according to initial reports, its earnings on the first day were very low. In India, the film collected around Rs 0.90 lakh, while its worldwide gross collection is said to be around Rs 1.2 crore. Considering the beginning of the film, the performance of the coming days has become very important.
Whereas Vibe, directed by Kunal Khemu, took a better start than Daira on the first day. Artists like Preity Zinta, Sparsh Srivastava and Vanshika Dheer are seen in this film, released on September 18. According to initial figures, Vibe has collected around Rs 1.50 crore on the opening day. Kunal Khemu's previous directorial Margao Express received a good response from the audience, hence the performance of Vibe is also being watched.
