The film managed to collect Rs 10.26 crore on its first day, reported Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Should've collected higher, since youth-centric films, generally, open big... Business affected in Mumbai circuit due to Tanhaji wave... Big growth on Day 2 and 3 essential for a strong total...

Directed by Remo D'Souza, Street Dancer 3D also stars Nora Fatehi, Aparshakti Khurrana, Raghav Juyal, Dharmesh Yelande, Punit Pathak and Salman Yusuff Khan in pivotal roles. It is set against an India-Pakistan dance rivalry, in which Varun and Shraddha play the roles of competing dancers on opposing sides of the cross-border divide.
