Overview

  • The 4K re-release of Trivikram Srinivas’s 2010 film Khaleja debuted on May 30 with a Rs 6.75 crore first-day global haul, including Rs 5.75 crore domestically and Rs 1 crore from overseas markets.
  • Overseas audiences propelled Khaleja to a $57,600 North America opening (third-highest for a re-release) and A$13,720 in Australia (second-highest ever rerun), according to box office trackers.
  • Initial screenings were disrupted by the omission of songs and scenes, triggering fan protests, clashes with theater staff and a Vijayawada incident where a viewer brought a live snake into a screening.
  • Khaleja’s production team announced via its official X account that all missing footage has been reinstated and theaters are now presenting the complete remaster with Dolby Atmos sound.
  • Once a box office underperformer in 2010, Khaleja has since earned cult status and inspired fans to recreate its iconic moments in theaters, reflecting enduring enthusiasm for Mahesh Babu’s film.
