Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's Jai Simha has done a pre release business of Rs.28 crores world wide. Right now, the film is on the verge of reaching break even. Going by the trends, the movie may mint Rs.30+ crores share in its full run and will stand as a successful venture.
But then, is this result enough for Nandamuri fans from their hero? Balakrishna's previous film Gauthamiputra Satakarni collected close to Rs.50 crores share and stood as highest grossing film in Natasimham's career. His Legend's was close to Rs.40 crores while Simha collected around Rs.32 crores.
Now that Agnyathavasi scored a disaster during Sankranthi season, Jai Simha, obviously, expected to be scoring a blockbuster. But then, its range was confined to Rs.30+ crores and may stand as fourth highest grossing film in Natasimham's career. Of late, heroes of younger generation like Nani are also getting around Rs.40 crores share with their films. As such, fans wish Balakrishna's films would get next level of collections. Perhaps, NTR biopic will fulfill all their demands.
