A total of four films were released last weekend in Telugu states. Ilayathapathy Vijay starrer Adirindhi, the remake of Tamil blockbuster Mersal, hit the bulls eye through its Telugu version as well. The film is reported to have collected Rs.4 crores at the end of its first weekend run. As the movie's rights were bought for Rs.5 crores, the film needs one more crore to reach break even.
But then, all other three films are showing disastrous performance at the ticket windows. Sundeep Kishan's C/O Surya accumulated close to Rs.1 crore in its first weekend run. The movie needs to go a long way to get a hit status.
Hero Vishal's Detective minted Rs.50 lakhs in its first weekend while Manchu Manoj's Okkadu Migiladu earned shockingly low collections around Rs.20 lakhs. We will have eight movies on cards to get released for next weekend. It remains to be seen how well would they perform at the box office.
