It's a practice in the film industry to hype the collections. Some add one or two crores of rupees to the whole revenue, others inflate with unimaginable numbers.
When it comes to the Nizam region, except Dil Raju, no other cinema personality knows well the exact share a film received.
Except for Rajamouli movies, no film does collect beyond Rs 10 crore on the first day. Even 'Bheemla Nayak' and 'Radhe Shyam' collected under Rs 10 crore (minus GST).
But these days, everyone is claiming their film got collected more than Rs 12 crore on the first day in Telangana. This is nothing but bluffing!
‘Bheemla Nayak’ was projected of collecting record collections. But the reality is that it collected about Rs 8 crore on the first day.
The makers of “Sarkaru Vaaru Paata” claimed that it raked in more than Rs 12 crore on the first day. Insiders say it received just Rs 8+ crore. Even if we add GST to it, the collection doesn’t come to Rs 12 crore.
The makers are claiming that the film collected Rs 31 crore in Nizam for five days. Some are arguing that it might have collected Rs 27 Crore. But insiders put it to just Rs 22 crore.
Furthermore, Bollywood media has posted that the film got collected Rs 100 Crore nett in 5 days. Some Telugu media outlets mentioned that it received a whopping Rs 100 crore share.
Until we get the transparent system of collection like the USA has, the makers continue to bluff with inflated numbers. Only then the real stamina of our top heroes will be known.
