Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara Opens Soft as Few Shows and Baahubali Re‑Release Limit Day 1

Trade estimates peg the opening at ₹2–3 crore, leaving the film reliant on word of mouth to chase a reported ₹70 crore break‑even.

Overview

  • Mass Jathara released in theatres on October 31, directed by debutant Bhanu Bogavarapu, who publicly credited Ravi Teja as the film’s driving force.
  • Advance bookings stood at ₹61 lakh as of 1 pm Friday, according to Sacnilk, with an evening-first rollout reducing most theatres to 2–3 shows.
  • Trade pundits forecast a ₹2–3 crore net opening in India, below Ravi Teja’s Mr Bachchan start of ₹3.45 crore last year.
  • The film enters a crowded frame as the re-released Baahubali: The Epic draws strong turnout among re-releases.
  • Industry reports cite an estimated ₹70 crore budget, with box-office trackers suggesting roughly ₹70 crore net for a ‘safe zone’ and about ₹140 crore for a clean hit.
