Shankars much awaited film I hits screens yesterday.It is not a film we expect from a technical maestro Shankar. The film gets mixed response on Day 1 and mant thought it might end as big disappointer for makers and Shnaakr fans.
But contrary to reports has got a fantastic opening at Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (AP/T) box office. As per the early estimates the film collected 7.5 crores across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions on day 1 and it's a record for a dubbing film.The film witnessed 80 to 90 percent occupancy in all shows and collections are strong in B and C centers.
The film also performed well in overseas. I collected $126K from 100 locations on Tuesday. "I" has also affected the business of the Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh starrer, which has shown dip in its collection on Thursday.The visual extravaganza which is directed by Shankar, has got largely positive response from the Tamil audience but it is getting mixed reviews from the Telugu audience
