Tu Yaa Main had a slow start at the Indian box office on its opening day. The survival thriller starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, and directed by Bejoy Nambiar, earned around ₹55–57 lakh nett on Friday, according to early estimates by Sacnilk.com. With 1,239 shows and an average occupancy of just 6%, the film failed to cross the ₹1 crore mark.

Despite the weak opening, Tu Yaa Main managed to outperform the lead actors’ previous releases. Shanaya Kapoor’s 2025 romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan collected about ₹30 lakh on day one, while Adarsh Gourav’s Superboys of Malegaon earned roughly ₹50 lakh at its opening.

The film has received mixed-to-positive critical feedback, with praise for Adarsh Gourav’s performance and the film’s attempt at a gritty survival thriller. Whether word of mouth can boost its weekend numbers remains to be seen.
