Doraemon film earns Rs 12.25 crore by Day 6, eyes Rs 14 crore
Doraemon: Castle of the Undersea Devil added Rs 1.25 crore on Day 6, taking its India cume to Rs 12.25 crore. It is now the franchise's biggest grosser.
Doraemon: Castle of the Undersea Devil is turning its weekday run into a franchise moment. The anime film collected Rs 1.25 crore on Day 6, a 30% dip from Tuesday, and pushed its six-day India cume to Rs 12.25 crore gross.
With one more day left in the first week, trade estimates now point to a finish around Rs 14 crore.
A franchise record is already in the bag
The latest figure confirms that Doraemon: Castle of the Undersea Devil has become the biggest grosser in the Doraemon franchise. No previous theatrical outing featuring the robotic cat has matched this film’s India collection.
Reaching that milestone before the first week ends is notable. Franchise records usually depend on the full run, but this film has crossed the mark with several days still to play.
Why the weekday drop looks steady
A 30% fall on a Wednesday is normal for a family title. Kids are back in school after the weekend, and parents return to work, so weekday collections soften. The real test is whether the film can regain momentum on Saturday and Sunday.
In this case, the day-on-day decline did not erase the film’s overall advantage. The running total remains healthy, and the first-week estimate near Rs 14 crore suggests that the release has found a consistent audience.
What the film is about
The story follows Nobita and his friends on an undersea camping adventure powered by Doraemon’s futuristic gadgets. Their journey leads them to the hidden Mu Federation and to a dangerous discovery: an ancient Atlantean artificial intelligence known as Poseidon has switched on a weapon with the power to destroy Earth.
The group teams up with El from Mu and enters the Bermuda Triangle to stop Poseidon before it is too late.
What to watch next
The first week is nearly complete, but the film’s final box-office status will be decided by the coming holds. If the film stays steady, it will turn a franchise-record run into a clear success.
For Indian anime fans, that would be another signal that theatrical anime releases can find an audience beyond the opening weekend.
