There was a lot of talk going on about the audience not coming into the theatres. But it has been proved time and again that movie lovers are willing to spend their bucks if the content is appealing. It is what happened for ‘Bimbisara’ which was released on 5th August. The teaser and trailer attracted the audience and the promotions were uniquely done. There were good expectations on the movie and the team managed to meet them with their good work.
Kalyan Ram’s socio-fantasy film is running successfully in theatres right now. The movie earned a share of 6.3 crores in the Telugu states on its very first day. Since the theatrical rights were sold for 13 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, many expected the film to enter the profit zone by the end of the first weekend. It is what happened for ‘Bimbisara’ as it minted a total of 15.9 crores in 3 days. The movie entered profit zone already and the buyers are extremely happy.
On Sunday, the film earned 5.1 crores. It got 1.8 crores (Including GST) from the Nizam area and 72 lakhs from the Vizag region.
