S/o Satyamurthy Rakes Rs 80 Crores to Become One of the Top Ten Grossing Telugu Films!

When I saw the first rushes of Trivikram Srinivas’ S/o Satyamurthy, I immediately knew that this family drama will work well at box office. With star studded cast of Allu Arjun, Samantha, Nithya Menon, Sneha, Upendra and many others, the film became a huge hit. 

But mever did I thought the film will rake a whopping Rs 80 crore at box office with in three weeks of its release. Yes, Allu Arjun – Samantha starrer has managed to set the cash registers ringing making a profit of Rs 50 crores. This makes S/o Satyamurthy the seventh most highest grossing film in the history of Telugu cinema.

The film which still holds the number one spot in the highest grossers list is Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi with Rs 75 crores of profit share. While Ram Charan Teja’s Magadheera is the second highest grosser with Rs 73 crores of profit, Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh takes the third spot with Rs 60 crores of profit.

Revenues have been decent in 3rd and 4th weeks as well. In 5th Weeks, The family entertainer was able to run in 25 screens in Nizam and 30 theaters in Uttar Andhra. This aren't bad figure at all!

Still, 'S/o Satyamurthy' is Rs 5-6 crore shot of break-even and it could attain a Hit status only if it manages to cross Rs 54 crore in terms of full run share.

Son of Satyamurthy is Clearly Lucky

Some heroes have luck on their side and mega heroes are definitely among the lucky ones. They take complete care to make sure that their films have a successful run at the box office.

Be it a sensational start or a slow beginning, mega films surely make it to the hit mark depending on the budget. In case of the bigger mega stars, the films more or less reach the Rs 40 crore mark effortlessly.

And the story of S/O Satyamurthy is no different. The theatre rights of the film were sold for Rs 50 crores. On day one, it was widely felt that the film may not chug along beyond a week.

But the timing of the release worked in the film’s favour along with many films getting delayed and smaller films not making any noise worked in complete favour of SOS.

However, it has to be mentioned here that the film is not running with profits as yet. The final figures as of now stand at Rs 35 crores including Andhra and Telangana. Adding all other revenues, it is said that the film has managed to make Rs 43 crores till now.

So at one glance, it appears as if the film has a gross loss of Rs 10 crores. But if you actually look at it, the film had nearly a dozen buyers and if the amount is split then each one will incur a loss of Rs 20 lakhs to Rs 50 lakhs at an average. For a big film and for seasoned buyers, this is no big deal.

SOS was made by a big banner, they will have more big films in future and things will be settled then. So, the buyers are not a worried lot. And if the films lined up for release don’t do the kind of business they are anticipating, then S/O Satyamurthy will be the ‘solo performer’ for the entire season.

Bunny Goes On Holiday

After tasting mediocre success with his previous film S/o Satyamurthy, Allu Arjun has geared up for mass action entertainer under the direction of Boyapati Seenu. Meanwhile the actor has completed his dubbing for the much talked about Gona Ganna Reddy role in Rudhramadevi. According to latest reports, the stylish star has headed to Britain for a long holiday. Apparently Bunny has been planning for a holiday with his family since long time. Due to his hectic shooting schedules he didn’t find time. But now he seems to have found leisure to have some fun abroad with his family. After returning he will join the shoot of his next yet to be titled flick to be directed by Legend director and produced by Geeta Arts.

Bunny On A Three-Week Holiday

Relieved of all his current commitments, Telugu star Allu Arjun has taken a much needed three-week holiday and is headed to Britain with his family.

"It's a three-week holiday. Last two weeks were hectic for him with the promotions of latest Telugu release 'S/O Satyamurthy'. He also had to complete the dubbing for his upcoming Telugu film 'Rudhramadevi'," a source close to the actor told IANS.

"He left with his family for UK. As soon as he's back, he'll start working on his next project with Boyapati Srinu," the source said.

Arjun's "S/O Satyamurthy" has turned out to be a blockbuster, grossing over Rs.80 crore at the box office in three weeks.
