Sarileru Neekevvaru Closing Business, Super Hit!

Superstar Mahesh Babu and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Sankranthi special Sarileru Neekevvaru is ending as super hit. The film directed by Anil Ravipudi has collected a share of Rs 107.59 Crore in Telugu states and 125.98 Cr worldwide. This is indeed highest grosser for Mahesh Babu and all-time fifth highest grosser overall.

Sarileru Neekevvaru that had done worldwide pre-release business of 100.30 crore was predicted to become Sankranthi hit and a non-Baahubali hit. But, the film due to huge competition from AVPL slowed down completely from second week itself.

The film is a profit maker for most of the buyers in Telugu states, it is a loss venture in overseas. Here is breakup list:
