Yami Gautam's Nayyi Navelli Shows Box Office Decline on Day 15

Nayyi Navelli continued its theatrical run across Indian cinemas on its 15th day, recording a marked decline in daily collections compared to its opening weekend performance. The supernatural drama, which centers on the character of Mohini, has been tracking below industry expectations as it enters its third week in release.
The film's narrative revolves around Mohini, who enters a dysfunctional family home and catalyzes positive changes within its members. However, complications arise when Mohini's brother-in-law begins to harbour suspicions about her true nature, believing her to be a daayan—a malevolent spirit from Indian folklore. This central conflict forms the crux of the film's dramatic tension.
Yami Gautam's performance in the lead role carries the film's exploration of supernatural horror elements intertwined with family drama. The mid-range collection figures suggest the film has struggled to maintain momentum beyond its opening frame, a common challenge for horror-oriented releases in the Indian market.
The film's performance trajectory will largely depend on weekday collections and word-of-mouth reception as it competes with other releases vying for audience attention across multiplexes and single-screen venues nationwide.
