Dulquer Salmaan's latest film, Lucky Baskhar, is experiencing a triumphant run at the box office, poised to become the biggest opener of his career. Within the first two days of release, the movie has grossed over Rs 26 crore from worldwide ticket sales. The Telugu states are leading the charge, followed closely by Kerala, with the film showing significant growth in ticket sales.
Overseas, Lucky Baskhar is enjoying a strong reception in North America, crossing $300k, a market where Telugu films traditionally excel. In the Telugu states, the film's collections have surpassed its opening day numbers, demonstrating its enduring appeal. Notably, Lucky Baskhar's impressive performance comes amidst competition from other major releases during the Deepavali holiday.
Another Telugu release, KA, starring Kiran Abbavaram, is also performing well, despite a modest budget and lesser-known cast. Early estimates suggest KA earned nearly Rs 10 crore within its first two days. In Kerala, Lucky Baskhar debuted with an impressive Rs 2+ crore on its first day, maintaining momentum on day two with another Rs 2 crore in earnings.
Sivakarthikeyan's Amaran is also drawing crowds, securing over Rs 1 crore on its Kerala opening day – the biggest opening in the actor's career to date. As Lucky Baskhar continues its successful run, Dulquer Salmaan's stature as a bankable star is reinforced, solidifying his position in the Telugu film industry.
