Rajamouli's RRR currently holds the record for the highest opening day collections in the Telugu film industry, having grossed unprecedented amounts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on its first day. It also holds the record for premiere show collections in the USA.
However, this record is set to be broken. In Hyderabad and the Nizam region, an all-time record is expected. The government has allowed price hikes, which will significantly boost the revenue.
In the USA, it's uncertain whether the film will surpass the Day 1 (premiere + first day) record of RRR, but it is likely to secure the second spot if not the first. The Hindi version is also poised for strong performance in the North Indian market.
The Tamil and Malayalam versions have not generated the expected level of hype. While Kamal Haasan's presence may drive strong openings in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu, the excitement in these markets remains modest.
Overall, the global first-day collections are projected to set a new record for a Pan-Indian Telugu film.
