Records are records. They are meant to be established by one film and broken the next day with other new release. Junior NTR Fans would consider themselves more than happy as ‘Janatha Garage’ almost came so close to Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ day one opening record but fell short by nearly Rs. 20 Lakhs to settle comfortably as Top 3 position, as far as domestic AP, TS collections are taken into account
As of now, ‘Bahubali’ is still a far achievable target as it raked Rs. 22.42 Crores on first day (inclusive of massive premieres). Second position is still held by Pawan Kalyan because ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ collected a share of Rs. 20.92 Crores on release day (inclusive of massive premieres). However, NTR for the first time entered into Top 3 in recent times which is a remarkable achievement strongly announcing his comeback into Number Game.
Good news is ‘Janatha Garage’ over-performed exceeding all trade expectations because Rs. 18 to 19 Crores is thought of as a tough number to breach but ‘Janatha Garage’ almost closed into ‘Sardaar.’ As first day records are re-written in many areas, it’s time we need to wait and see for the long run trade verdict.
