A star vehicle needs oxygen on opening day, and Bhai Tera Star Hai never got any. Raghav Juyal’s first solo theatrical lead walked into cinemas on July 30, 2026, only to be overwhelmed by the massive arrival of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the Tom Holland franchise release that had already seized audience attention, premium screens and opening-day momentum across India.
That made this a punishing launch pad for a film that needed curiosity, footfalls and word of mouth to build. Instead, the clash turned brutal almost instantly, leaving Juyal’s Hindi release struggling to break through the noise of a global event title. What should have been a defining box office step for the actor has quickly become a harsh lesson in release timing.
A Day One Clash That Left No Breathing Room
Early trade chatter around the film was never especially strong, and the opening day trend has only underlined how difficult the situation became once the clash played out in theatres. Raghav Juyal’s Bhai Tera Star Hai has made a slow start at the box office, earning an estimated Rs. 23 lakh on Day 1. The makers took a risk by releasing it alongside Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Bhai Tera Star Hai has taken a very low opening at the box office.
That is the real story behind the day one fallout. Spider-Man: Brand New Day was the film carrying event-level anticipation into the weekend, and Bhai Tera Star Hai ended up squeezed in the kind of clash where a smaller Hindi release can lose visibility from the first show itself. Tthe movie collected approximately Rs. 23 lakh on its first day, which is surely not a great amount.
The Film At The Centre Of The Struggle
The disappointing start stings more because Bhai Tera Star Hai was clearly positioned as a commercial showcase for Juyal. The movie was reportedly made with budget of ₹25 crore. Except for Raghav Juyal, the film also stars Niharika NM, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Vivan Bhatena and Vikalp Mehta.
That combination gave the film a recognisable ensemble and a frontman with growing screen recall, suggesting an attempt to push Juyal into a more market-facing theatrical space. Promotional material pitched the film as a comedy entertainer built around his character Ajay Singh, a setup that made release timing especially critical. In a less crowded corridor, that positioning may have given the film more room to find its audience.
Raghav Juyal’s Recent And Upcoming Work
This result also lands at an interesting moment in Juyal’s career. Over the last few years, he has been moving with greater confidence from his dance and hosting identity into acting-led projects, including the 2024 series Gyaarah Gyaarah. Bhai Tera Star Hai was supposed to test how far that transition could stretch in a full-scale theatrical environment. He was praised in supporting role in Aryan Khan’s web show The Bads Of Bollywood.
Even with this setback, the larger industry picture around him is still in motion. He will be seen in Shah Rukh Khan’s massive action film King as one of the antagonist characters. King is slated for 2026 Christmas release.
