Udta Teer, the upcoming Bollywood film featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan together yet again on-screen after Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, is set for release on October 23, 2026. Surprisingly, however, there is hardly any buzz around the film with the release date just two weeks away—a sign that does not bode well for its box-office performance.
As we know, generating buzz before a film’s release is crucial; by this measure, Udta Teer appears to be in trouble, raising the question of whether another flop is loading.
What makes the situation worse is that Udta Teer’s trailer also failed to generate that hype. While the spy-comedy film received largely positive and mixed-to-good reviews, a section of the audience finds the concept far-fetched, silly, or over-the-top. At the same time, some viewers feel the underlying plot is average or predictable and worry that weak promotion might hurt its box office run.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan promoted their upcoming film Udta Teer in Chandigarh, Punjab, and Pune; still, the film struggles to build anticipation and excitement, and to turn its quirky, self-aware, chaotic vibe into strong advance-ticket interest. This low noise ahead of the release may also affect its initial-day earnings.
The Bottom Line
The pre-release silence surrounding Udta Teer is concerning, as such quiet spells often lead to a film flopping. While initial hype matters for a strong start, a film’s long-term box-office success depends on audience word-of-mouth. With just a few days left before the theatrical window opens, Dharma Productions faces a race against time to turn the tide.
