Overview
- On Day 10 the Samantha‑starrer reached a reported worldwide gross of about Rs 78.7 crore, a total that trade trackers say surpassed Anushka Shetty’s Arundhati and set a new box‑office benchmark for woman‑led Telugu films.
- The run was driven largely by strong returns in the Telugu states and a second‑weekend rebound that analysts attribute to word‑of‑mouth and family audience turnout.
- Trade outlets differ on the film’s production cost—reports list either about Rs 20 crore or Rs 30 crore—which produces different return‑on‑investment calculations and alters how ‘most profitable’ rankings are presented.
- Producer Raj Nidimoru announced a sequel is in the works at a success event, and Samantha publicly urged directors and producers to invest time and resources in building female superstars as she prepares for a forthcoming maternity break.
- Collections slowed to a typical weekday dip on Day 11 with an India net of roughly Rs 1.60 crore, leaving the film on track to cross the Rs 80 crore global mark if it sustains reasonable hold into its third week.
