Mantra Muugdha Creates History at the Box Office, Earns Over ₹2 Crore in Just 10 Days

Bhubaneswar: In a remarkable achievement for the Odia film industry, Mantra Muugdha has crossed more than ₹2 crore in box-office collections within just 10 days of its release, despite featuring no major superstar and releasing without the support of any festive season.

What makes the success even more surprising is that the film largely stars newcomers under the direction of young filmmaker Anupam Pattnaik.

The film’s strong performance has once again proved that audiences today are driven more by engaging storytelling and quality entertainment than by star power alone.
For years, the Odia film industry depended heavily on a handful of self-proclaimed “superstars,” with producers believing that audiences would only visit theatres for films headlined by big names and released during auspicious occasions or festivals. However, Mantra Muugdha has shattered that perception.

The film’s success highlights a changing trend in Odia cinema, where content has become the real hero. Industry observers say the audience is now ready to embrace fresh talent and meaningful storytelling, making every capable performer a “superstar” in their own right.

The report also compares the film’s achievement with acclaimed Odia film Pratikshya, which won national recognition without relying on mainstream star power. Similarly, Mantra Muugdha is being hailed as a nationally appealing commercial entertainer that has connected strongly with viewers.

With record-breaking collections and overwhelming audience response, Mantra Muugdha continues to set new benchmarks at the Odia box office, rewriting the rules of success in regional cinema.
