Huma Qureshi's crime thriller Baby Do Die Do continues its underwhelming run at the box office. The film collected a meager Rs 0.36 crore net on Day 5, even failing to see a jump on the discounted Tuesday. In fact, the film witnessed a 12% drop from its Monday collection of Rs 0.41 crore.
Directed by Nachiket Samant, who previously directed Single Salma, the film's journey has been disappointing at the box office. After a slow opening of Rs 0.40 crore on its first Friday, the film showed limited growth over its opening weekend, with collections of Rs 0.58 crore and Rs 0.83 crore on Saturday and Sunday respectively. However, the momentum was short-lived, with Monday and Tuesday witnessing significant drops.
After 5 days, the film's total India net collection stands at approximately Rs 2.58 crore, with India gross collections reaching Rs 3.04 crore. With a reported production budget of Rs 25 crore, the film has only managed to recover approximately 10% of its costs, making it one of the most underperforming releases of 2026. The film was released on approximately 400 screens across India, facing stiff competition from big-budget releases.
Baby Do Die Do features Huma Qureshi in the lead role as Baby Karmarkar, a deaf and mute hitwoman who operates in Mumbai's underworld. The film also features a talented ensemble cast including Sikander Kher, Chunky Pandey, Seema Pahwa, Rachit Singh, Vidya Malvade, Himanshu Malik, Marudhar Shekhawat, and Arun Kushwah.
The technical team includes cinematographer Tojo Xavier, music composer Arjun Iyer, editors Nikhil Parigar and Ashish Tripathi, and production designer Tariq Umar Khan. The original story was penned by Parveez Shaikh and Jasmeet K Reen, while Nachiket Samant and Gaurav Sharma co-wrote the screenplay and dialogues.
The film was produced by Saqib Saleem under his banner Saleem Siblings in association with Pune-04 Picture, with Huma Qureshi also serving as producer. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, with many praising Huma Qureshi's restrained performance and the film's noir-infused atmosphere, Baby Do Die Do has failed to attract audiences to theatres.
With the release of other major films further reducing its screen count, the film's theatrical run appears to be nearing its end. Trade analysts project a lifetime collection of under Rs 5 crore, resulting in losses exceeding Rs 20 crore for the makers.
