Power Star Pawan Kalyan's Agnyathavasi collected a share of Rs.26.39 crores on day one of its release in Telugu states and stood as an all time record (non Baahubali). According to trade sources, no movie has come on par with Agnyathavasi's day one record even today.
As per trade, Agnyathavasi minted Rs.5.46 crores in Nizam area on day one and stand out the number one film till date. A big film's share was shown as Rs.5.70 crores and Rs.9.30 crores gross. Ironically, the gross is even bigger than the Baahubali's day one gross of Rs.8.5 crores. This is said to be a Baahubalian fake. The film's original share is said to be Rs.4.40 crores which is one crore lesser than Agnyathavasi.
In Ceded, Agnyathavasi accumulated Rs.3.35 crores share. Another recent big film was shown Rs.5.45 crores share. Strangely, the total gross of the film was Rs.6.50 crores. There was very less difference of share and gross of the film.
In West Godavari a big film's share was disclosed as Rs.2.05 crores by the genuine senior fans of the same hero. Strangely, some box office trackers projected it as Rs.2.37 crores to beat Agnyathavasi's Telugu states record.
Though some electronic media houses know all these facts, they had to publish fake collections of some films due to Mohamaatam factors with PROs of films.
