Sai Dharam Tej has finally found success at the box office with his latest release, "Virupaksha," directed by Karthik Dandu. The horror thriller has been well received by audiences, and its opening collections are proof of its success.
On the first day of release, the film earned a whopping 4.79 crores in Telugu states, with collections increasing to 5.80 crores on the second day. On the third day, the movie collected 5.7 crore, bringing its total opening weekend collections to 16.36 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone.
In addition, the film grossed 1.41 crores in Karnataka and ROI and 3.05 crores in overseas markets, bringing its worldwide opening weekend collections to 27.75 crores gross and 20.82 crores share.
Despite its impressive box office performance in the first weekend, the horror thriller "Virupaksha" still falls short of its break-even target of 23 crores by 2.80 crores. However, with a total pre-release business of 22.20 crores and the movie's worldwide gross collections of 27 crore, it is still on track to be a profitable venture for the film unit.
The film has given Sai Dharam Tej a much-needed boost after a string of failures, and its success has also brought positivity to the rest of the film unit. The movie is also performing well in the United States, approaching the one million mark in box office collections. With positive word-of-mouth and the absence of major competing releases, "Virupaksha" is likely to continue performing well in the coming weeks.
