Overview
- After premiere shows on December 11, the Boyapati Sreenu–Nandamuri Balakrishna sequel released in cinemas on December 12 following a court‑related delay from its original December 5 date.
- Industry tracker Sacnilk estimates roughly ₹30–30.5 crore on Day 1 including paid previews, with the Telugu version contributing the vast majority.
- Day 2 collections fell by about 30.67% to around ₹15.5–15.6 crore, taking the two‑day total to approximately ₹46 crore, according to early estimates reported by Indian Express and others.
- Reactions remain polarized, with fans citing Balakrishna’s screen presence and Thaman S’s score as highlights as mainstream reviews fault the writing and tone (Indian Express 2.5/5, Pinkvilla 2/5).
- Netflix has acquired streaming rights with an expected four‑week theatrical window targeting early January, and the makers have teased a third installment.
