Taapsee Pannu’s latest release Assi has crossed the ₹3 crore mark at the Indian box office by day three. Despite receiving largely positive reviews, the film opened on a modest note and is relying heavily on word-of-mouth to build momentum.
Released on February 20, the film clashed with Do Deewane Shehar Mein in theatres.

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Assi is described as a poignant and unsettling drama that addresses the pressing issue of women’s safety. Rather than being a conventional entertainer, the film presents a stark and emotional narrative.
Apart from Taapsee Pannu, the film also stars Kani Kusruti and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in key roles.
