As per a report in Sacnilk, the film collected a net of Rs 4.4 crore across 5,546 shows on Sunday. This marked a 10% increase from the previous day and took its total India net collection to Rs 11.65 crore.
Nayyi Navelli showed an overall daily occupancy of 27.66% on day 3. Turnout started low in the morning at 8.46%, but saw a significant increase as the day progressed, peaking during the evening shows at 36.46% before dipping slightly to 27.46% for the night screenings.

Nayyi Navelli and Prahaar are competing not just against each other but also against major releases such as Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranabaali and Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2. With these big-ticket films also vying for viewers’ attention, the two releases face greater competition at the box office as they look to attract audiences to theatres and improve their collections.
The coming days will decide whether the two releases can maintain their momentum and add to their box office totals. Audience response and weekday trends will also play an important role in shaping their performance in the days ahead.
