Megastar Chiranjeevi’s “Khaidi No 150” has crossed the gross of $ 2.40 million by end of Wednesday (Feb 1). It is now just short of few dollars to cross the lifetime gross of Trivikram’s Nithin and Samantha starrer “A Aa”.
“A Aa”, which was released in June 2016, set a new record by collecting lifetime gross of $2.45 million and became third all-time Telugu grosser in USA market standing behind “Srimanthudu” ($2.9 Million) and “Baahubali”($6.9 Million).
Now, Chiranjeevi’s movie will cross this movie in a day or two. So, “Khaidi No 150” will become third all-time highest grosser in USA market among Telugu movies.
At one time, it seemed that “Khaidi No 150” would even break the record collection of “Srimanthudu” but the movie’s run slowed down after the mammoth “Premiere show” gross.
Through premieres, it collected about $1.28 million. The movie is a profitable venture for all the buyers and distributors now. But it is not as profitable as “A Aa” was.
Anyhow, the top five movies in USA market for Telugu films would now be …..
1. Baahubali
2. Srimanthudu
3. Khaidi No 150
4. A Aa
5. Nannaku Prematho
