Even though Nagarjuna Akkineni is well aware that devotional genre is a risky attempt in this age, he went on to do ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya’ as he had high confidence on the subject and the visualization of K Raghavendra Rao. It seems that neither Nag’s commendable effort nor the positive talk is helping the film at box office.
Trade reports revealed that the collections of ONV aren’t growing over the weekend even with positive talk. Now, one could imagine how this film will be performing in the coming week days.
Below is the area wise break up of distributor share:
Nizam – 102 lacs
Ceded – 46 lacs
Nellore – 17.02 lacs
Guntur – 45 lacs
Krishna – 16.16 lacs
West – 27.5 lacs
East – 25.3 lacs
Uttharandhra – 41.6 lacs
2 Days AP & TG Share – Rs 3.21 Cr
The situation is no different in the US. ONV collected a mere USD 107K by Saturday, which is another huge disappointment. As the film’s worldwide theatrical rights were valued at Rs 35 Cr, distributors are staring at hefty losses.
