Panipat was reportedly made on a high-end budget of ₹ 70 crores. However, the film has failed to gain momentum at the box office. Panipat made a decent business on its opening day of ₹ 4.12 crores. The historical drama had recorded a whopping ₹18 crores within just three days of its release.

From the looks of it, the heydays of Panipat are far behind. According to the latest box office reports, on the 12th day of its release, Panipat only managed to rake up merely ₹ 0.49 crores. Until now, the film has managed to make only ₹ 30.05 crores. Panipat has also managed to gain ₹ 8.12 crores in the overseas market as well.

Panipat has failed to meet the expectations of the makers and the audience as well. However, the film has reportedly done better in Mumbai and Delhi as compared to other parts of the country. Panipat has reportedly seen a very cold response from the audience down South.

Panipat was released alongside Mudassar Aziz’s Pati Patni Aur Woh. While the latter has seen an exceptional run at the box office, the clash has made Panipat the one to suffer. In addition to this, another Hollywood release, Jumanji: The Next Level, starring Dwayne Johnson, stole away the limelight.

With Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 3 up for release on December 20, 2019, Panipat is expected to move out of the theatres soon. Dabangg 3 will make it difficult for previous releases like Pati Patni Aur Woh to gain anything further as well. However, another much-anticipated release, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, will also hit the theatres alongside Dabangg 3.
