Releasing on October 2nd (Wednesday), Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest magnum opus ‘Sye Raa’ has this extended weekend of 5 days in hands, thus getting the opportunity of rake up more moolah on the first weekend. As the film got opened to stupendous talk in Telugu states and poor talk in Bollywood, the impact of that talk got carried to the box office figures also.
We have to say that Sye Raa is emerging as a “super hit” in Telugu states with the 5 days ‘shares’ of the movie likely to remain between 65-70 crores. That’s a terrific first weekend, though the film has to collect 50 crores more to be termed as a safe venture as the film got sold for almost 115+ crores in Telugu states.
With Overseas collections of Telugu version touching 2 million dollars already, the film might post good numbers there too, owing to the fact that there is not much competition around in the coming weeks. Talk is that there will be no losses for all the distributors as the film’s good run in Dasara holidays in the second week is going to help big time in Telugu states as well.
Cut to Bollywood market, Sye Raa managed to collect only 10 crores nett in its first weekend as the Hindi audiences got swept away by Hrithik-Tiger’s war that made 160 crores nett already. With lack of promotions, Sye Raa suffered this massive stroke up north, which might result in almost 18 crores loss for the distributor, thus earning the tag of ‘super flop’ there.
