Anil Ravipudu @ USA BOX Office: A Rare Record

Usually, we see big event films and massive production films doing particularly well at the North American box office. However, there is one Director, who has cracked this North American box office with simple style of filmmaking and moderate budgets when compared to event films.

The director in question here is Anil Ravipudi, who has made it a habit to deliver consecutive hits not just at the domestic box office, but also the North America box office.

With his latest film, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, Anil Ravipudi has become one of the very few directors to have 5 consecutive $1 Million grossing films at the USA box office. This is his fifth film to have grossed over $1 million at the U.S. box office which is a rare feat for any director these days.

“A RARE FEAT & AN ICONIC STREAK by #AnilRavipudi. Hit Machine @AnilRavipudi continues his legacy of excellence with #SankranthikiVasthunam. Blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunam becomes his 5th Million Dollar Film at the US Box Office. One of the Most successful director of Indian Cinema with 8/8 consecutive blockbusters” the communication from the team read.

At a time when directors are finding it extremely hard to crack open the USA box office, it is interesting to see Anil do it time and again on a consistent basis.

Apart from delivering eight hits with the eight films that he made till now, Anil has a rich box office legacy that he has set all by himself. The kind of reception that he is getting at the North American box office is a testament that the audience at large are heavily in his favour.

On the work front, this consistent Director has lined up a film with megastar Chiranjeevi, which is likely to release in theatres next Sankranti season, and thus confirming another hugely prospective film for him.
