Super Star Mahesh Babu has a huge fan base in the USA. There was a lot of hype for Maharshi, as it is his 25th film. The film was released in 260 locations across the territory in a bid to cash in on Mahesh mania. It was expected to cross $1 million mark in premieres and first day together.
The Vamshi Paidipally-directed film collected $693,098 at the USA box office in preview shows and the first day. It failed to beat the records of Mahesh Babu's previous films like Bharat Ane Nenu ($1.4 million), Srimanthudu ($1.11 million) Spyder ($1.14 million), Aagadu ($928,000) and Brahmotsavam ($810,000).
Maharshi is further slowing down in USA in week days. On its fifth day, Maharshi collected $31k, taking its five days total to $1,450,272[Rs 10.21Cr]. This is a poor show for the stature of star like Mahesh Babu who has great fan base in USA and moreover Maharshi received unanimous positive talk from all quarters.
