In overseas, family entertainer is the most successful genre and the film looks to be cashing on the sentiments of people. By Saturday, the Sharwa starrer has raked in $233K in the US.
The film’s box office numbers are staggering given that it is competing with Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No.150’ and Balakrishna’s ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’.
With decent word of mouth and Dil Raju’s clever post-release promotional strategy, Shatamanam Bhavati is expected to post a great weekend total. The footfalls on Sunday morning were reported to be encouraging. The real test however will begin on Monday.
