Raghav Juyals Bhai Tera Star Hai Opens on 30 July 2026 to Modest Numbers Amid Spider-Man Competition
Raghav Juyal’s first solo feature, Bhai Tera Star Hai, was released across India on 30 July 2026. The comedy, directed by Vivek B Agrawal, stars Juyal alongside Niharika NM, Sanjay Kapoor, Niki Walia, Barkha Singh, Vivan Bhatena and Parvathy Omanakuttan. The film was written by Agrawal and Sudipto Sarkar and is set in London.
On its opening day the film earned ₹0.25 crore on 826 screens, a figure that is 80 percent lower than the ₹1.25 crore that Juyal’s earlier film Kill collected on its first day. Kill, released in July 2024, had a total net collection of ₹24.97 crore in India and a worldwide gross of over ₹48 crore. The contrast illustrates the limited commercial reach of Bhai Tera Star Hai, which screened on fewer than 1,000 screens nationwide.
The release coincided with the debut of Spider‑Man: Brand New Day in India, a Tom Holland‑starrer that dominated the market and occupied the majority of screens. Industry observers note that the Marvel film’s strong demand and the negative early reviews of Bhai Tera Star Hai have constrained the latter’s growth prospects.
Bhai Tera Star Hai received mixed critical reception. A review on Scroll India described the film as a “pointless comedy that strains patience levels,” citing dialogue that appears as on‑screen text and a plot that fails to engage. The film’s soundtrack includes the single “Aankhon Se Tune 2.0,” performed by Dev Negi and Palak Muchhal, which was released on the official YouTube channel of Tips Music.
Box‑office data for the film’s first day is the only publicly available figure. No further daily collections have been reported, and the film’s performance is expected to remain modest as it competes with the high‑profile Spider‑Man release and faces limited screen availability.
The film’s release strategy reflects a broader trend in 2026 Bollywood, where mid‑budget comedies often struggle to secure wide distribution against blockbuster releases. The limited screen count for Bhai Tera Star Hai—under 1,000—highlights the challenges faced by smaller productions in a market increasingly dominated by high‑budget Hollywood imports and large‑budget Indian franchises.
Looking ahead, Bhai Tera Star Hai has not announced a planned re‑release or extended run, and no additional promotional activities have been reported. The film’s current status remains that of a limited‑release comedy with modest opening‑day earnings, set against the backdrop of a crowded theatrical calendar dominated by Spider‑Man: Brand New Day.
In summary, Raghav Juyal’s attempt to transition from supporting roles to a lead in a comedy has yielded a modest opening day collection of ₹0.25 crore on 826 screens. The film’s performance is constrained by competition from a major Hollywood release and limited screen availability, underscoring the difficulties faced by mid‑budget Hindi comedies in the 2026 theatrical landscape.
