Mumbai, 18 February 2026: The box office results for yesterday are in, and the working week pressure is clearly visible on the charts. Yesterday, Tuesday, 17 February 2026, saw a general dip in collections across most theaters in India. After a busy Valentine’s week and a decent weekend, the “working day” effect has slowed down the speed of ticket sales.

According to our Daily Chart, the new big-budget romantic saga O Romeo is trying its best to stay afloat, while older hits like Border 2 are finally reaching their final destination.

In this detailed report, we break down the earnings of all major movies currently playing in cinemas. Whether it is a small-budget surprise or a mega-budget action film, here is what the numbers from Tuesday mean for the future of these movies.

O Romeo: The Big Budget Romantic Test

Day 5 Collection Analysis

The most talked-about film right now is O Romeo. It was released with high expectations, especially because of its massive ₹150 Cr budget. On its Day 5 (Tuesday), the movie collected ₹5.1 Cr. While this is a drop from the weekend, staying above the 5 Crore mark on a Tuesday is a respectable effort for a romantic drama.

Total Collections and Financial Standing

The movie has completed its first five days with a decent total.

• India Net Collection: The film has earned ₹40.99 Cr in India.
• Worldwide (WW) Collection: Globally, the numbers look better at ₹61 Cr.

What This Means for O Romeo

Even though 40 Crores in five days sounds good, we must remember the high production cost of 150 Crores. To be a “Hit,” the movie needs to reach at least 160-170 Crores in India. Currently, it is earning well, but it needs to show extreme stability over the next ten days. If the collections drop below 4 Crores during the rest of the weekdays, the makers might face a tough time.

With Love: The Small Film with a Big Heart

Day 12 and the Post-Valentine Drop

With Love was the champion of Valentine’s Day. However, now that the romantic season is fading, the numbers are coming back to normal. On its Day 12, the movie earned ₹0.9 Cr. It has finally dropped below the 1 Crore mark, but that is expected after such a long and successful run.

Huge ROI for the Makers

This film is a perfect example of smart filmmaking. With a tiny budget of ₹10 Cr, it has already achieved more than expected.

• India Net Collection: The total stands at ₹21.84 Cr.
• Worldwide Collection: The global total is a fantastic ₹29.02 Cr.

Verdict for With Love

The movie is a Super Hit. It has earned double its budget in India alone. Even if it stops earning today, the producers have made a huge profit. It shows that small-budget movies with good music and relatable stories can win the box office race.

Funky 2026: Struggling to Find an Audience

Day 5 Performance

The youth-oriented film Funky 2026 is finding it hard to compete with the bigger titles. On its Day 5, it collected only ₹0.82 Cr. For a movie that was supposed to capture the Gen-Z market, these numbers are quite low.

Budget and Totals

The movie was made with a budget of ₹25 Cr.

• India Net Collection: So far, it has gathered ₹7.17 Cr.
• Worldwide Collection: The total is ₹11.65 Cr.

What it Means for Funky 2026

The film is currently in the “Struggling” zone. It has not even recovered half of its budget. With the current trend, it looks like it will finish its run as a “Below Average” or “Flop” film unless there is a miracle jump in the second weekend.

Border 2: The End of a Golden Era

Day 26 – The Final Lap

Border 2 has been the king of the box office for nearly a month. But every legend must eventually rest. On its Day 26, the movie collected ₹0.72 Cr. While the daily collection is now under 1 Crore, the fact that it is still earning in its fourth week is a miracle.

Record-Breaking Totals

The budget of ₹150 Cr was recovered long ago.

• India Net Collection: A massive total of ₹325.32 Cr.
• Worldwide Collection: A historic ₹440.22 Cr.

Verdict

Border 2 is an All-Time Blockbuster. It has set new records for patriotic films in India. Most theaters will likely replace it with new releases this Friday, but it has already done its job of bringing the audience back to the cinemas in huge numbers.

Mardaani 3: A Slow Crawl to Safety

Day 19 Update

Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3 is showing some grit. On its Day 19, it earned ₹0.68 Cr. It is performing similarly to Border 2 despite being a much older film, which shows that a specific set of audience is still interested in this franchise.

Financial Breakdown

The budget for the film is ₹70 Cr.

• India Net Collection: ₹45.28 Cr.
• Worldwide Collection: ₹67.61 Cr.

What This Means for Mardaani 3

The movie is very close to its worldwide budget of 70 Crores. It will likely be called an “Average” performer. It didn’t set the box office on fire, but it didn’t crash completely either. It is a safe venture for the producers thanks to the worldwide business.

Tu Yaa Main: A Major Disappointment

Day 5 – The Downward Trend

Finally, we have Tu Yaa Main. The movie has failed to attract viewers right from the start. On its Day 5, it managed to earn only ₹0.45 Cr.

High Budget, Low Returns

With a budget of ₹30 Cr, the makers were expecting a much better performance.

• India Net Collection: Only ₹3.68 Cr.
• Worldwide Collection: ₹4.33 Cr.

Verdict

Tu Yaa Main is a Box Office Disaster. It has failed to even reach 5 Crores in five days. It is unlikely to survive in theaters for another week.

Final Summary: Tuesday Box Office Conclusion

To conclude the 17th Feb 2026 BoxOfficeWala Daily Chart, the industry is seeing a mix of results. O Romeo is the only movie currently bringing in significant numbers, but its high budget is still a worry. With Love and Border 2 are the biggest winners of the season, while Tu Yaa Main has unfortunately failed to connect.

The upcoming weekend will be the final chance for O Romeo and Funky 2026 to improve their standings before new movies arrive.
