The box-office picture is becoming brighter for Mega Prince Varun Tej’s latest sensation, Korean Kanakaraju. The film, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi and produced by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainments, has stepped up its game on Saturday and witnessed huge surge, registering stronger numbers and attracting considerably more crowds to theatres. The movie, in its two-day theatrical run, collected a worldwide gross of 23.6 Cr+.
For the team, the biggest positive is not merely the second-day growth but the nature of the response. The film’s light-hearted comedy is connecting with families, while positive word of mouth is steadily bringing additional audiences into theatres. The result is a healthy atmosphere at all centres, with many shows running to packed houses. The film crossed 500K in ticket sales together in BookMyShow and District.
The improved Day 2 performance has also changed the weekend outlook. The movie now has a strong chance of finishing its opening weekend on a high, particularly with Sunday bookings showing excellent signs. The overseas performance is also contributing to the positive picture. In the USA, the film is nearing $250K, reflecting good traction beyond the domestic market.
With bookings looking highly encouraging, the expectation is that the film will record its best collections of the opening weekend. If the actual turnout matches the advance trend, the movie should be in an extremely comfortable position by the end of the weekend. The movie is on the verge of entering the profit zone.
