Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan’s spy comedy *Udta Teer* earned Rs 19.45 crore net at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, according to figures reported by *The Indian Express* from industry tracker Sacnilk.

The film opened with Rs 4.10 crore net on Friday before rising to Rs 7.25 crore on Saturday, an increase of about 77%. Sunday collections reached Rs 8.10 crore, up nearly 12% from the previous day. After three days, its reported totals stood at Rs 23.08 crore gross in India and Rs 27.58 crore worldwide, including Rs 4.50 crore from overseas markets.

Directed by debutant Aakash Kaushik and produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the film stars Khurrana as Bilal, a Pakistani spy who loses his memory after a blast and believes he is an Indian counterterrorism officer. Khan plays an officer unaware of his identity. The supporting cast includes Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Raghubir Yadav and Supriya Pilgaonkar.

The film opened to mixed reviews and was denied permission for theatrical release in Nepal after the country’s Central Film Censor Board found its content violated restrictions under Nepalese cinema law, *The Indian Express* reported.

Ahead of the release, Khurrana and Khan visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Dussehra to offer prayers. The movie’s release had been postponed from October 9 to October 23.
