Several factors have contributed to the film’s lackluster box office performance in India:

- Lack of Fan Connection with the New Captain America
- Unlike previous Captain America films led by Chris Evans, this installment features Anthony Mackie as the titular superhero. His version of Captain America has not resonated as strongly with Indian audiences.
- Weak Marketing & Low Hype
- Unlike Avengers: Endgame or Spider-Man: No Way Home, Brave New World did not generate the same level of excitement or anticipation before its release.
- Mixed Reviews & Audience Response
- Many viewers criticized the screenplay, pacing, and action sequences, with some calling it one of Marvel’s weaker entries post-Endgame.
- Tough Competition from Indian Films
- The film faced stiff competition from Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, a historical epic that has dominated Indian ticket windows, grossing over ₹395 crore in 13 days.
Can Captain America 4 Recover?
With collections now below ₹50 lakh per day, Brave New World is unlikely to recover significantly in India. The film is projected to wrap up its box office run around ₹30 crore, marking it as one of Marvel’s weakest performances in India.
Going forward, Marvel Studios may need to rethink its strategy to regain its lost momentum in the Indian market, focusing on stronger storytelling and better promotional campaigns.
