Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam released yesterday amidst huge hype and much promise. Distributors from all over have invested insanely huge amounts and the film has clocked nearly 85 Crore pre-release business. However, the day of numbers the film managed to notch up shows an alarming situation for the film’s buyers and makers.
Brahmotsavam has collected nearly 3.67 Crores Nizam and another 1.45 Crore Ceded area. While Guntur saw 1.90 Crore share, East and West Godavari districts collected 1.60 and 1.92 Crores respectively. Furthermore, 44 lakhs from Nellore and 93 lakhs from Uttarandhra/Vizag region and 74 lakhs from Krishna district were collected at the box-office.
After connecting a share of Rs. 12.65 Crores in the twin Telugu states, Brahmotsavam stood in the 4th place in the list of all-time highest opening day earners, following, Baahubali, Sardaar Gabbar Singh and Srimanthudu. On the other hand, Brahmotsavam grossed a decent $560K from the premieres, but Friday collections are expected to be around a disappointing $240K.With buyers on the verge of losing big both in India and in overseas, looks like it’s no Brahmotsavam for Mahesh and his fans or all the parties involved.
