Virat Karrna and Nabha Natesh's mythological fantasy drama Nagabandham continues to hold steady at the box office in its second week. According to early trade estimates, the film collected Rs 0.92 crore net on its 13th day across approximately 882 shows.
Directed by Abhishek Nama, who also wrote the story and screenplay, the film's Day 13 collection represents a slight growth from its Day 12 earnings of Rs 0.87 crore. This indicates that the mythological adventure continues to find an audience, particularly in the Telugu states where it has performed best.
After 13 days, the film's total India net collection stands at an estimated Rs 19.58 crore, with India gross collections reaching Rs 22.44 crore. The overseas markets have contributed an additional Rs 1.65 crore in gross collections, pushing the worldwide gross total to an impressive Rs 23.17 crore. However, other trade sources suggest the worldwide gross has already crossed Rs 35 crore.
The film's day-wise journey shows a steady performance in its second week. Released on July 3, 2026, Nagabandham opened with Rs 3.40 crore on its first Friday and earned Rs 3.05 crore on Saturday, bringing its opening weekend total to approximately Rs 10 crore net. The film's strong visual effects, ancient temple sets, and mythological storyline attracted family audiences, particularly in Tier-2 towns.
Produced by Kishore Annapureddy and Nishitha Nagireddy under NIK Studios and Abhishek Pictures, the film features a talented ensemble cast including Virat Karrna in the lead role, alongside Nabha Natesh, Ishwarya Menon, Mahesh Manjrekar, Jagapathi Babu, Murali Sharma, Rishabh Sawhney, and Daksha Nagarkar.
The technical team is led by cinematographer Soundar Rajan S, music composers Junaid Kumar-Abhe, editor RC Pranav, and action choreographers including Vlad Rimburg (USA), Kanal Kannan, and Real Sathish. The film's VFX, color grading by Red Chillies.Color with senior colorist Ken Metzker, and production design by Ashok Kumar have been widely praised.
Despite mixed reviews and criticism over its three-hour runtime, director Abhishek Nama recently revealed that the makers have trimmed nearly 20 minutes from the film, removing a song from the first half and shortening the climax. With no major Telugu releases in the coming week, Nagabandham is expected to continue its steady run, with distributors projecting a lifetime collection of around Rs 35-40 crore if weekdays remain stable.
