Kunal Kemmu’s second directorial venture, Vibe released on September 18, 2026It was a busy Friday at the box office as two very different Hindi films arrived in theatresWhile Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Daayra brought a serious crime thriller to the big screen, Kunal Kemmu’s Vibe went for action, comedy and a lighter toneWith both films releasing on the same day, their opening numbers were always going to attract attentionNow that the early Day 1 figures are out, Vibe has managed to stay ahead of Daayra in the domestic box office race. Here’s how much Vibe earned on its first day.

Vibe has collected an estimated Rs 1.50 crore net in India and Rs 1.80 crore globally, on Day 1The film recorded 13.38% overall occupancy across its shows on Friday, according to SacnilkIt was screened across 3,194 showsThe film saw gradual growth from its morning shows (6% occupancy) to evening and night screenings peaking up to 22.31%. 

Vibe beats Kareena Kapoor’s Daayra 

Kunal Kemmu’s action-comedy Vibe has taken a lead over Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Daayra at the domestic box office on their opening dayDespite a low start for both releases on Friday, Vibe managed to cross the Rs 1 crore milestone, earning Rs 1.50 crore net on Day 1. On the other hand, Meghna Gulzar’s gritty crime procedural Daayra starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran struggled with a modest opening of Rs 90 lakh on Day 1, according to Sacnilk 

This gives Vibe an early advantage over Daayra despite both films arriving in cinemas on September 18, 2026The opening is particularly interesting because the two films are targeting very different audiencesVibe is an action-comedy, while Daayra is a serious investigative crime thrillerThe weekend will now be important for both releasesStronger audience turnout on Saturday and Sunday could change the picture.
