Yodha vs Bastar

Yodha clashed at the box office with Bastar: The Naxal Story, a political drama film that reunited the cast of The Kerala Story, including actress Adah Sharma, director Sudipto Sen, and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah. Based on the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in Chhattisgarh's Bastar district, Bastar stars Shilpa Shukla, Yashpal Sharma, Subrat Dutta, and Raima Sen in pivotal roles. Bastar starring Adah Sharma witnessed a poor footfall on its second day in theatres with only 12.58 percent occupancy. Meanwhile, the film collected ₹75 lakh on its first Saturday, taking its total collection to ₹1.15 crore.

Sidharth Malhotra stars in Yodha as an off-duty soldier aboard a terrorist-hijacked passenger plane. When the engine stops working, he plans to beat the hijackers and keep the passengers safe. Disha Patani, Raashi Khanna, Tanuj Virwani, and others also star in the action-packed film.
