Mass Jathara Stumbles on Opening Weekend as Baahubali Re-Release Leads Box Office

Early trade estimates show a modest take that leaves the ₹40-plus crore production under pressure.

Overview

  • Trade tracker Sacnilk, cited by Hindustan Times, pegs the film at about ₹9.65 crore net in India from paid premieres plus its first two days.
  • An industry distributor quoted by Deccan Chronicle estimates roughly ₹7 crore as the distributor share over the first three days.
  • SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Epic re-release outperformed with an estimated ₹18.05 crore net in India over two days including premieres.
  • The opening is only a slight improvement over Ravi Teja’s Mr Bachchan, which logged ₹6.35 crore in two days including premieres.
  • Industry voices attribute the weak start to predictable narration and a reportedly forced supporting turn for Sreeleela, and doubt a swift path to breakeven.
