Venkatesh’s sports drama Guru is off to a decent start at the Tollywood box office. The film has collected nearly Rs. 2.5 crore share on its day 1 in Telugu states. It is pretty good considering its genre and cost of production. Rest of the new releases failed to get off the mark.
Puri Jagannadh’s Rogue couldn’t get decent opening in spite of good promotions. Lack of star value might be the reason for low turnout on its day 1. Poor word of mouth will affect its prospects in the long run.
Another new release Dora failed to grab attention due to weak publicity.
Last week’s release Katamarayudu had on ordinary second Friday and didn’t show much improvement today. The film collected around Rs. 54 crore in its week 1 and needs to collect another 30 crore to breakeven, which looks highly unlikely at the moment.
