Overview
- By early July the Samantha Ruth Prabhu‑starrer has been declared the top‑earning female‑led Telugu film after crossing about Rs 90–92 crore worldwide and passing the lifetime totals of Arundhati and Mahanati.
- The film crossed the $2 million mark in North America, with overseas receipts of roughly Rs 25 crore contributing materially to its global total.
- Producers and trackers say the movie was made on a modest reported budget of about Rs 20–30 crore and has earned roughly three to four times that amount, giving it an unusually high return on investment for a Tollywood release.
- The box office run showed a strong third‑weekend hold with notable day‑to‑day jumps and rising occupancy on Days 16–17 before a typical weekday decline on Day 18, keeping the Rs 100 crore worldwide target within reach.
- The film’s commercial success, credited to Samantha’s star power, Raj Nidimoru’s hands‑on production control and steady word‑of‑mouth, could shift how financiers and studios back future female‑led Telugu projects and prioritize diaspora markets.
