21st October 2023, Mumbai: Nandamuri Balakrishna’s recent release, ‘Bhagavanth Kesari,’ made its theatrical debut on October 19 and immediately garnered a formidable response. However, the second day at the box office witnessed a substantial drop in collections. This stark contrast between the film’s initial high and subsequent drop can be attributed to the absence of a public holiday on the second day. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the action-packed venture features Balakrishna, also known as Balayya, and has garnered widespread attention, ultimately raking in a significant sum of Rs 20 crore in India on its opening day.
‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ Box Office Collections
Released amid enormous expectations, ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ has been well-received by both critics and audiences since its October 19 release. Despite facing stiff competition from Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Leo,’ the film enjoyed an impressive start, accumulating Rs 20 crore on the first day. However, on the second day, the film experienced a considerable drop in its collections. Early estimates indicate that it earned a mere Rs 7 crore, less than half of its opening day earnings. Consequently, the total collections after the first two days amount to Rs 23.60 crore.
