Box Office Performance
- Darbar had a massive opening, collecting ₹36+ crore in India on Day 1, making it one of Rajinikanth’s best openers.
- The movie performed exceptionally well overseas, especially in Malaysia, UAE, and the USA, where it crossed ₹92 crore.
- Despite the strong opening, mixed reviews and word of mouth impacted the film’s collections after the first week.
- The film crossed ₹247 crore worldwide, but due to its high budget of around ₹200 crore, it ended up as an average performer at the box office.
Verdict & Legacy
Darbar showcased Rajinikanth in a full-fledged action-packed cop role, which fans enjoyed.
Despite crossing ₹247 crore, Darbar could not achieve blockbuster status due to its high production costs. Darbar was a commercial success but not a huge hit due to its budget. It remains a stylish action entertainer in Rajinikanth’s filmography.
