Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s family and intense crime thriller Irumudi has turned its theatrical run into a box-office spectacle, setting new benchmarks with a blockbuster opening weekend. The film has witnessed massive traction from day one, with the strong word of mouth translating into consistently packed shows across territories. Although extra theatres are aded keeping the huge demand in mind, Irumudi saw packed houses in all areas from multiplexes to D centres.
The film’s first-weekend performance has rewritten Ravi Teja’s career-best numbers, with Irumudi grossing 80 crore+ worldwide. The film is also raking big moolah at the overseas region as well. Irumudi has officially crossed the prestigious $1 million mark, making it the first Ravi Teja starrer to achieve the milestone.
The film’s speed in reaching profitability has been equally remarkable. Irumudi crossed its breakeven mark within just two days. Such a rapid recovery has put the film’s distributors and exhibitors in the profit zone much earlier than expected, turning the project into a highly rewarding theatrical venture.
Beyond the numbers, the film’s success is being attributed to its unusual combination of emotional depth, Ayyappa Deeksha elements and crime drama. Ravi Teja’s high-energy screen presence has emerged as a major attraction, while director Shiva Nirvana’s intense storytelling has connected strongly with audiences.
With weekdays opening on a highly positive note and the demand showing little sign of cooling down, Irumudi is now aiming for an extended and highly profitable theatrical run. In fact, the movie registers 15K+ hourly ticket sales on Monday.
The film, made on Mythri Movie Makers, has already entered the record books, and is set to finish as the biggest blockbuster for Ravi Teja.
