Puja 2024 Week One Box Office: Bohurupi, Tekka and Shastri

Checked on 28 October 2026 against the final Sacnilk figures held on this site. The tables below are live and update on their own if a trade figure is revised.

The short answer

• Winner: Bohurupi (বহুরূপী), directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee and starring Abir Chatterjee, collected ₹4.20 crore India net in week one and went on to ₹14.16 crore in 85 days, the biggest India net figure for any Bengali film on this site.
• Second: Tekka, Srijit Mukherji’s film with Dev, finished at ₹3.66 crore. Sacnilk has no day by day figures for it, so its week one cannot be shown. Bohurupi earned about 3.9 times as much overall.
• Third: Shastri, with Mithun Chakraborty, made ₹0.67 crore in week one and ₹0.93 crore in 24 days.
• Opening: Bohurupi opened at ₹0.35 crore on Tuesday 8 October 2024 and built through the week: ₹0.50 crore on Day 2, then ₹0.75 crore on Day 3 and again on Day 5.
• Critics: Bohurupi 3.7 out of 5 (12 reviews), Tekka 3.5 (14 reviews). Shastri has 3.25 from only 2 reviews, too few to rank.

So Puja 2024 belonged to Bohurupi on money and on critics: the best reviewed film of the three was also the biggest earner, and its lead over Tekka is far wider than the star name would suggest.

About the numbers: India net figures for the Bengali versions, estimated by Sacnilk trade tracking. They are estimates, not audited, and not worldwide gross. Producers often announce different totals; Wikipedia, for example, quotes a larger worldwide figure for Bohurupi that we cannot tie to a source, so we do not use it.

No. They are estimated India net collections for the Bengali version, from Sacnilk trade tracking and anything typed in by hand. Producers and other trackers often announce different totals.

After week one: why Bohurupi stands out

• Bohurupi’s best days came on Day 3 and Day 5, and it still made ₹0.45 crore on Day 7, so it built through the Puja days instead of fading after the weekend.
• It took ₹9.96 crore after week one. Week one was only 30% of its final total, an unusually long tail for a Bengali release.
• Reports put its budget at about ₹4 crore (Filmibeat, October 2024). On that figure its India net is about 3.5 times cost. That budget is a press report, not an official figure, so we treat it as indicative and do not print a hit or flop label.

Hit or flop?

Sacnilk lists no verdict for these three and no official budget is on record. The reported ₹4 crore budget for Bohurupi points strongly to a success, but we only call a verdict when the makers or Sacnilk do. See all 2024 Bengali films by India net.
