Overview

• US pre-sales reached about $59,000 by Wednesday morning after bookings opened Tuesday night, with $32,000 from the Telugu version and $27,000 from the Tamil version.
• India advance bookings stood at roughly ₹17.26 lakh by 2 pm (Sacnilk), rising to an estimated ~₹19 lakh gross from 12,100 tickets across 575 shows by 6 pm (Koimoi).
• Only Tamil shows were available for pre-booking in India at the time of reporting, and outlets say opening Telugu bookings later could lift advance totals.
• The Telugu version’s early overseas traction is being linked to Ranganathan’s past cross-regional hits, including Love Today and Dragon, which built his audience in the Telugu states.
• Trade coverage notes optimistic projections for a strong opening, including talk of a possible 10 crore day-one net and long-run 100 crore gross, which remain speculative.
