Nithiin’s Lie ends as colossal flop. After Trivikram and Samantha’s magic A..Aa, Nithiin failed miserably to pull in crowds to cinemas as his collaboration with Hanu Raghavapudi couldn’t even collect a share that is one fourth of the film’s budget and could not even rake a gross that is half of the film’s budget.
Made with a budget of Rs 40 Crore and first south film to shot in US for a stretch of 75 days, the film turned out to be huge double disaster. The total world-wide share of Lie is Rs 9.45 Crore while the total world-wide gross is estimated as Rs 17 Crore gross.
While the film managed to collect a full-run share of Rs 8.3 Crore in AP and Telangana together, the film got a meagre 42 Lakh in US, 45 Lakh in Karnataka and Rest of World another Rs 28 Lakh.
While A..Aa collected a world-wide share of Rs 47.48 Crore, the film alone collected a share of Rs 10.66 Crore in the US and 1.36 Crore in the Rest of World.
Lie’s US full-run share Rs 42 Lakh is no match to A..Aa’s US full run share of Rs 10.66 Crore, shocking even the trade pundits.
