Even after receiving positive reviews from fans and critics, Bheed opened to an extremely low audience. However, it is expected to earn a reasonable sum in the coming days.

According to Box Office India, since the trailer is actually unwatchable there is less chances of people watching the film as it is a time when there is the necessity of visual appeal to bring people into cinemas.

On Day 1, Bheed managed to rake in just Rs 0.15 crore India net. The film had an overall 5.48 per cent Hindi Occupancy on Friday, March 24, 2023, and the numbers were more or less on the weekends.

This black and white film is directed by Anubhav Sinha starring big names Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Kapur, Bhumi Pednekar, Ashutosh Rana, and Dia Mirza. The film is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Anubhav Sinha’s Benaras Mediaworks. The film also features Virendra Saxena, Aditya Shrivastav, Kritika Kamra, and Karan Pandit. The film is all set for a theatrical release on 24th March 2023.
