Trade expert Taran Adarsh posted the collection on social media, and wrote, "#Liger opens to mixed response on Day 1... Good/ fair in mass pockets, dull/ordinary at metros/multiplexes... Needs to improve its performance on Sat and Sun... Thu [preview shows] 1.25 cr, Fri Rs 4.50 cr. Total: Rs 5.75 cr. #India biz. Note: #Hindi version."

Earlier in the morning, we reported that Liger has suffered a drastic fall in South India regions, and the negative audience reception has harmed the film. As per the report of Bollywood Life, Puri Jaganath sports drama earned Rs 26 crores from all the languages. Now, after the negative reports, the film has seen a huge downward trend, and the collection has fallen down in the range of Rs 15-16 crores.

Liger is the career-best opening of Vijay in Telugu. But even there, the film has shown a dip in the collection. This is certainly bad news for the film. As per the report, on day 1, Liger grossed Rs 16 crores from Telugu, Rs 2 crore from Hindi, Rs 3 crore from the rest of India, and Rs 5 crores from overseas. Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan termed Liger as a 'disaster,' soon after its release.
Vijay and team Liger promoted the film on a large scale, and they visited different parts of India on their promotional tour. During the press conference in Delhi when Vijay Deverakonda was asked how he would react if the film fails to do well at the box office, Vijay spoke in Hindi and said, "Had you asked me this question a few years back, I would have replied with anger. I would have been so angry. However, with the kind of love that I have received in the last few days, it would be a disrespect to that (love) if I react angrily to such small things around me. I want to remember the love. The audience is important, we work for them, and we travel cities just to meet them and we want to win their love."
