Premam has been the top performer over the last week at the Tollywood box office. The film has dominated the Dasara competition and has collected record breaking numbers for a Naga Chaitanya starrer. Premam has collected an estimated 16.5 crore (distributor share) in its first week.
This is the highest ever opening for Naga Chaitanya as a solo lead. Chay pinned a lot of hopes on this film to give him the much needed blockbuster.
He is the one who initiated this project and signed up Chandoo Mondeti as the director. Chandoo who made an impressive debut with Karthikeya proved his mettle by getting everything right for a tough remake.
There was a lot of criticism about Chaitanya and Shruti’s choice as the main lead in Premam remake. It is also the film that suffered a lot of trolling on the social network.
Premam team, Chay and Shruti in particular have proved that they are the right choice for this remake. Premam is set for a strong second weekend as there are no notable releases on this Friday. It should breach the 20 crore mark by Sunday, as per trade estimates.
