Taapsee Pannu's Assi, released on February 20 alongside Do Deewane Seher Mein, opened to positive reviews but had a slow start at the box office, collecting Rs 1 crore on Day 1. On Day 2, it earned Rs 1.92 crore gross and Rs 1.60 crore nett, with 13.2% occupancy. The film trails Khel Khel Mein, which minted Rs 2.05 crore on Day 2.

Taapsee Pannu’s latest theatrical release, Assi, hit cinemas on February 20, clashing with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur's Do Deewane Seher Mein. The makers had screened the film for the media a week ahead of its release, and it opened to largely positive reviews.

However, when it comes to box office numbers, Assi has taken a slow start, collecting Rs 1 crore on Day 1, a figure that is far from impressive. That said, content-driven films often begin on a modest note and rely on positive word of mouth to pick up pace over the weekend.

Assi Box Office Collection Day 2

According to Sacnilk, Assi earned Rs 1.92 crore gross and Rs 1.60 crore nett in India on Day 2, making its total net collections of Rs 2.60 Cr so far, across 3,435 shows. The overall occupancy stood at just 13.2%, which remains on the lower side. Pannu’s film continues to trail her last theatrical release, Khel Khel Mein, which had collected Rs 2.05 crore nett on its second day.

Assi Budget

The makers of Assi have not officially revealed the film's budget, but reports suggest it was made on an estimated Rs 30-40 crore. Therefore, Anubhav Sinha's directorial now requires a solid weekend jump to improve its box office prospects.

Free Press Journal's Assi Review

The Free Press Journal reviewer gave Assi 3.5 stars and wrote, "Overall, Assi is a hard-hitting and disturbing film. It reminds us that even in 2026, one of the biggest issues in our country is women's safety. Assi does not entertain, but it gives you a reality check that hits hard."

Assi Cast

Apart from Taapsee, the film also stars Kani Kusruti in a leading role, alongside Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, Manoj Pahwa, Seema Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Revathy. Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa make special appearances in the film.
