The faith driven theatrical space has produced some fascinating box office stories in recent years, and Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridayam) is now trying to carve out its own journey. The Siddharth Gupta starrer did not arrive with the thunder of a mega opener, but its second week trend has kept it in conversation.
Released in theatres on May 7, 2026, the Hindi devotional drama has completed 14 days at the domestic box office. Its performance so far points to steady audience interest, though the film still needs a sharper jump to move into a more comfortable theatrical zone.
Krishnavataram Part 1 Box Office Holds In Week 2
Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridayam) closed its second week with Rs 9.75 crore nett in Hindi, including an estimated Rs 90 lakh on its second Thursday. The film’s 14 day Hindi total now stands at Rs 21.50 crore nett.
The second week trend is notable because the drop from the first week remained controlled. After paid previews of Rs 40 lakh, the film collected Rs 1.05 crore on its opening Friday, Rs 2.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 3.20 crore on Sunday. The weekdays held in the Rs 1 crore range for most of week one, helping the film build a base before entering its second weekend.
In week two, the film added Rs 1 crore on Friday, Rs 2 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.85 crore on Sunday. The weekday run then brought in Rs 80 lakh on Monday, Rs 1.20 crore on Tuesday, Rs 1 crore on Wednesday and Rs 1 crore on Thursday.

What Krishnavataram Part 1 Is About
Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridayam) is a Hindi devotional film directed by Hardik Gajjar. The film stars Siddharth Gupta as Krishna, with Sanskruti Jayana, Sushmitha Bhat and Nivaashiyni Krishnan playing key roles. It has been produced under Creativeland Studios Entertainment and Athashrikatha Motion Pictures, with AA Films associated with distribution.
The film explores Lord Krishna’s life through the emotional lens of love, devotion and relationships. Its narrative focuses on Krishna’s bond with Radha, Rukmini and Satyabhama, positioning the story as the first chapter of a larger cinematic universe.
The Road Ahead For The Siddharth Gupta Starrer
The film’s next phase will depend on how well it retains screens across devotional belts and family heavy centres. Titles in this space often benefit from group viewing, temple town circuits and word of mouth among older audiences, which can help weekday footfalls if exhibitors continue to give the film workable show timings.
Its appeal is tied to religious and emotional positioning rather than star front loaded momentum. If the film protects its core audience while drawing in families over the coming days, it can extend its theatrical presence beyond the usual short window given to smaller Hindi releases.
