Superboys of Malegaon Box Office Collection Day 1: Reema Kagti's film, which draws inspiration from the life of Nasir Shaikh and other amateur filmmakers in the Indian city of Malegaon, received a mixed-to-positive reception from critics. However, as reported by Sacnilk, the film experienced a lackluster debut at the box office, generating only ₹45 lakh.

Superboys of Malegaon box office report

The trade tracking platform indicated that Superboys of Malegaon garnered merely ₹45 lakh on its opening day. This performance has led the film to surpass Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor's Loveyapa (₹1.15 crore) as the lowest-opening film of 2025 thus far. The film recorded an occupancy rate of only 8.85%, with 6.05% during morning screenings, 6.89% in the afternoon, 9.11% in the evening, and 13.36% at night.

Additionally, the film did not manage to outpace Sohum Shah's Crazxy (₹90 lakh), which was released on the same day. Other films that have struggled to achieve a strong box office performance this year include Himesh Reshammiya's Badass Ravikumar (₹2.75 crore), Aman Devgn and Rasha Thadani's debut film Azaad (₹1.5 crore), and the romantic comedy Mere Husband Ki Biwi featuring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh (₹1.5 crore).
