The success of Obsession has once again proved the attraction of Indian audiences towards good horror films. While it has been more than 20 days since the time it was released in India on May 29, 2026, the collection of Obsession has been reported to be Rs. 2.2 crores on the fourth Saturday. The figure is bigger if compared to the third Saturday, when the film collected Rs. 1.3 crores. The total collection now stands at Rs. 75.3 crores, leading to a gross collection of Rs. 88.85 crores.
Obsession worked at the Indian box office without any promotions. Although, the start was a little slow, people came to know about the film, and they began purchasing tickets. The current figure, which is Rs. 75.3 crores, has surpassed the records made by other successful films of Hollywood over the last few weeks, including Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and Michael.
Obsession started the first week on May 29, 2026, at Rs. 18.55 crores, which was a good number. However, the figure turned out to be better by the second week, from June 5, 2026, where it collected Rs. 31.25 crores. The success story does not stop here, as the third week numbers, from June 12, 2026, were reported to be Rs. 22 crores. The film is currently in its fourth weekend, and the figures for the same are not out yet. But as of now, the collections are expected to be between Rs. 90-95 crores.
The success of Obsession at the Indian box office has undoubtedly left the entire film industry in shock. A few believe that the biggest reason behind the success has been the backing of a big production company and a marketing strategy that is usually followed for any other movie. The positive word-of-mouth has also helped at the same time.
Notably, the makers followed a separate format in terms of making, where they preferred to focus on storytelling and script instead of bringing a big star in the lead role, and spent a lot on promotions. The budget of the film clearly shows that the director wanted to keep audiences hooked to the big screen until the end, and the formula worked in favour of the film.
The plot of Obsession focuses on a man named 'Bear,' who is in love with a girl named 'Nikki.' 'Bear' finds a supernatural toy that can help fulfil his wish. While things go as planned, 'Nikki' starts displaying a different kind of behaviour, bringing chaos and a lot of other issues to the lives of 'Bear' and everyone else.
