Mastiii 4 Day 7 Box Office Collection Report: Franchise Faces a Major Crisis
Mastiii 4, the fourth entry in Bollywood’s adult comedy franchise starring Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, continued its downward slide on Day 7. The film added only ₹1 crore India net on Thursday, 27 November 2025, marking a 13% drop from Day 6 (₹1.15 crore).
With this, the film’s Week 1 total stands at approximately ₹13.85 crore, confirming weak audience traction and extremely negative reception.
Released on 21 November opposite Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur, Mastiii 4 has failed to capitalise on nostalgia or brand power, exposing a wider shift in audience taste away from repetitive adult comedies and single-joke screenplays.
Day 7 Performance: Minimal Footfall and Weak Occupancy
Day 7 collections fluctuated between ₹0.90–1.00 crore, with Hindi occupancy averaging just 7.09%. The morning and afternoon shows remained under 5%, while only late evening shows touched 10–12%.
Metropolitan circuits performed slightly better:
- Mumbai registered approx. 17.25% occupancy
- Delhi-NCR around 17%
- Central India and Rajasthan circuits registered negligible walk-ins
The film’s weekdays displayed a clear decline from Monday onwards. Flat collection trends, negative word-of-mouth and recycled double-entendre humour dragged consumer interest further down.
India Net: ₹1.00 crore
India Gross Addition: ₹1.20 crore
Overseas: ₹0.10 crore
Worldwide Gross (approx): ₹18 crore
Week 1 Day-Wise Collection
| Day | Net Collection (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | 2.75 |
| Day 2 | 2.75 |
| Day 3 | 3.00 |
| Day 4 | 1.60 |
| Day 5 | 1.60 |
| Day 6 | 1.15 |
| Day 7 | 1.00 |
| Total (Week 1) | 13.85 |
Opening weekend saw modest traction, but the collapse post-Monday mirrors a sharp rejection similar to Great Grand Masti’s 2016 performance.
Budget vs Recovery: Disaster Status Locked
Industry estimates place Mastiii 4’s financial outlay at:
- Production: ₹50 crore
- Marketing + P&A: ₹20–30 crore
- Total Investment: ₹70–80 crore range
To achieve hit status, the film required ₹100+ crore net theatrical scale. At just ₹13.85 crore net after 7 days, Mastiii 4 has achieved only 20–25% recovery, cementing a disaster verdict.
For context:
- Great Grand Masti (2016) netted ₹13.72 crore lifetime despite piracy leaks
- Mastiii 4 is tracking at a similar or worse trajectory
Advance bookings peaked at ₹5.64 crore, but post-release reviews (IMDb ~3.8/10) crushed momentum.
Clash With 120 Bahadur Hurt the Film
The 21 November clash with Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur split multiplex share. While 120 Bahadur also struggled, posting around ₹10 crore range in week 1, it still commanded better retention and premium screens.
Other active titles like De De Pyaar De 2 (₹61+ crore in 10 days) retained screens in major urban belts, squeezing Mastiii 4’s show count.
Metros held some business:
- Mumbai ~₹0.35 crore
- Delhi ~₹0.30 crore
Southern circuits dropped below 5% occupancy, while eastern zones (Kolkata ~6%) offered no support.
Franchise Context: From Cult Comedy to Terminal Decline
The Masti brand once delivered one of Bollywood’s biggest adult comedies:
- Masti (2004): Hit
- Grand Masti (2013): Super Hit and ₹102 crore club
- Great Grand Masti (2016): Disaster
Mastiii 4 was marketed as a nostalgic comeback, but outdated slapstick, formulaic scripts and repetitive themes failed to connect with post-OTT, Gen-Z audience.
The very factors that once helped the franchise—shock humour and taboos—now feel stale.
Star Power Could Not Save the Film
Riteish Deshmukh, often the face of Bollywood’s adult comedy era, saw diminishing pull. Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi’s reunion lacked novelty, and the trio’s chemistry—once the core of Masti—felt exhausted.
With no new narrative hook, the film became a content recycle instead of a brand revival.
OTT Lifeline: The Only Hope
Trade trackers forecast:
- Week 2 addition: ₹1–2 crore maximum
- Lifetime net: ₹14–16 crore range
A quick OTT premiere may salvage ancillary revenues, but theatrical prospects are virtually over. Any conversation around Masti 5 will now depend on complete creative reinvention, not nostalgia.
