Beast ended as a Flop at the Indian box office. With ₹235 Cr India nett against a reported budget of ₹180 Cr, representing a 131% return on production cost, the film failed to recover its total investment theatrically. A Flop verdict means theatrical revenue was insufficient to cover production and distribution costs — though OTT rights, satellite deals and music licensing often partially offset the losses. Industry verdicts consider theatrical performance only.
