Valentine’s Day 2026 kicked off with romance in the air, but at the box office, it was a tough fight. Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav’s survival thriller Tu Yaa Main hit theaters on February 13, hoping to grab attention. Instead, it landed a very modest opening.
The Tu Yaa Main box office collection Day 1 came in low, thanks to heavy competition from Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo (which opened strong at ₹8.25–9 crore) plus holdovers like Border 2 and Mardaani 3. Still, there are a few silver linings worth talking about!
The film rolled out in around 1,239 to 1,256 shows nationwide. Numbers stayed small, but it quietly beat the previous solo openings of both lead stars (Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan and Superboys of Malegaon). Early signs show some promise if word-of-mouth picks up over the weekend.
Tu Yaa Main Box Office Collection Day 1
Here’s the key data from opening day:
| Day | Date | Net Collection | Gross Collection | Occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Feb 13, 2026 (Fri) | ₹55 Lakh | ₹66 Lakh | 7.16% |
City-wise Highlights & Clash Impact
Chennai gave the biggest cheer with 24.67% occupancy—nice surprise there! Mumbai followed at 10.25%. Other cities stayed quieter. The main reason for the low turnout? O Romeo grabbed most screens and footfalls on Valentine’s Friday. That big romantic thriller stole the spotlight.
Early Day 2 Update (Saturday, Feb 14)
Morning and noon shows on Day 2 were slow—early estimates put collections at about ₹10 lakh till 1:00 PM. That brings the two-day total to roughly ₹65 lakh net so far. If Saturday evening picks up with couples or groups, it could help a bit.
Tu Yaa Main has a gripping survival story going for it—maybe weekend buzz turns things around? Have you watched it yet? What did you think of Shanaya and Adarsh’s performances? Drop your review below—I’m reading every one!
