Prince Mahesh Babu's public challenge on Maharshi collections left many questions unanswered. As we all know,Mahesh Babu said Maharshi would cross the full run shares of his top grossing films in the first week's run of Maharshi.
According to trade sources, Mahesh Babu's Bharat Ane Nenu collected a genuine share Rs.86 crores (PR team share Rs.92 crores) and stood as the top grosser among Mahesh Babu's films.
Obviously, Mahesh Babu intended Maharshi would beat BAN's genuine full run share at the end of its first week's run.
Having gone through the advance booking trends from Monday, it's made out there would be a possible dip in collections of Maharshi. It's further understood that Maharshi cannot beat Tollywood's latest industry hit (non BB) Rangasthalam's Rs.127 crores in its full run. It's being hoped that Maharshi would beat Khaidi Number 150's full run share Rs.105 crores at the end of Maharshi's full run. De facto, Maharshi requires the same number to get break even reached.
