Bunny Beats Charan, Mahesh

Reigning star Allu Arjun clocks more than Rs 9.32 crores in Nizam with his latest offing Race Gurram and surpasses the first week record of his rivals Mahesh, Ram Charan and sits next to Pawan Kalyan whose film "Atharintiki. Daaredi" stands tall with 10.48 crore first week collections.

Rough first week collections

Nizam- 9.32 crores

Andhra: 10 crore-plus

Ceded- 2.5 crores

overseas- 2.5 crore plus

On whole, the film garnered around 24-crore plus first week record. Allu Arjun shows his star power and joins the ranks of big-league stars.  

2. Despite big hype, comedy flick "Laddu Babu' fails to set box office on fire as it opened with tanda openings of just 80 laksh plus across the state out of the 6 crores it was sold for. It was sold for 1.5 crore in Nizam, but distributors are expected to lose more than 60% of their investments, since surprisingly Allari Naresh is unable to draw openings and its sustaining at theatres, seems remote. .

3. Charmi's "Pratighatana" was out of few theatres in Nizam on first day itself, showing its lacklustre response and it could manage to garner 20 lakhs on first day which is much worse than Charmi's earlier films and comeback plans of veteran director Tammareddy seems to have gone awry.
