Can't Prince Mahesh's 'Srimanthudu' break the records of 'Magadheera' and 'Atharintiki Daredi'? According to trade sources, it would a tough task for 'Srimathudu' breaching the records set by 'MD' and 'AD'. Following are the reasons shown by them to defend their view.
* In Nizam, the movie was initially expected to cross Rs.25 crores share. However, as per the collection trends, the movie is presumed to collect close to Rs.20 crores share. AD and MD collected Rs.25.10 crores and Rs.24.80 crores respectively in this territory.
* In Ceded, the movie is likely to end up around Rs.7.5 crores share. The movie is yet to reach break even here. 'Magadheera' collected a share of Rs.13.10 crores here.
* IN Nellore the movie collected Rs.1.34 crores for eight days. However, Rs.5 lakhs share on its 8th day is little bit embarrassing. The movie may collect Rs.1.70 crores share in this area.
* Except in East Godavari, the movie may not break AD/MD records in other areas of AP and Telangana.
* In Overseas, the movie is likely to fare around Rs.15 crores share.
* As per existing trends the movie is likely to collect the full run share of Rs. 70 crores and may settle down at fourth position among the top grossers after 'Baahubali', 'AD' and 'MD'.
* However, as the movie being a family entertainer, steady collections for two to three more weeks is expected. In such scenario, all the above expectations are gone wrong and the movie stands next after 'Baahubali'.
NB: Hiked collections which are being circulated in social media have not been considered for above analysis.
