Varun Tej has struggled at the box office with his previous releases, not living up to the expectations. But his new release, Korean Kanakaraju delivered a massive opening day at the box office. The thorough entertainer has recorded a phenomenal Rs.10 crore+ gross globally on its opening day. This spectacular start officially makes it the highest ever opening in the actor's career.




Varun Tej has proved his strong box office pull in the overseas market with this project. The film is heading towards the US$200,000 gross milestone in North America. This is a huge achievement considering the market performance of his previous films.

The craze for the movie translated into spectacular domestic advance bookings and spot sales. A staggering total of 257K tickets were sold out on Day 1 across BookMyShow and District apps alone. The positive trend is continuing seamlessly, as Day 2 bookings are looking very good across all territories.

The overall response from the audience has been extremely positive since the premieres. The crackling comedy scenes featuring Varun Tej and Satya are working big time and keeping the viewers thoroughly entertained. Thanks to the highly positive word of mouth and fantastic comedic timing, the movie is on track to become a major blockbuster.
