Balakrishna's latest masala entertainer Paisa Vasool opened on a decent note at the ticket window. The film generated enough buzz prior to release to post good numbers on day 1.
The film has collected a share of Rs.7.88 cr on its first day in Telugu states. It is a decent start but the negative word of mouth will show its effect in the coming days.
There is a huge drop in morning show collections all over, which is a bad sign. Puri Jagannadh’s template mafia film failed to impress the audience.
Balakrishna has impressed with his energy levels but it may not be enough to pull this film to safety. The film needs to collect around Rs. 35 crore share to be termed as a box office hit.
It needs to make the most of its first weekend to reach there. Here is the breakup of Paisa Vasool collections on its day 1.
Nizam: 1.6 Crore
Ceded: 1.8 Crore
Vizag: 0.80 Crore
Guntur: 1.54 Crore
East: 0.70 crore
West: 0.55 crore
Krishna: 0.52 crore
