Overview

• Pawan Kalyan’s gangster thriller launched with record paid previews estimated at roughly Rs 20–25 crore and massive advance sales near Rs 98 crore worldwide, according to trade trackers.
• Opening-day tallies were enormous, with India net estimates ranging widely from about Rs 63 crore to Rs 91 crore and global day-one figures reported up to roughly Rs 150 crore.
• Collections fell steeply on day two, with Sacnilk pegging a drop of about 69% to around Rs 19.6 crore in India, bringing the two-day domestic total to roughly Rs 104 crore.
• The overseas rollout proved uneven as exhibitors such as York Cinema canceled shows and European partners cited delayed delivery, while North American distributor Prathyangira Cinemas rushed physical drives to keep screenings on track.
• Reception has been mixed despite strong fan turnout, a Bengaluru show was halted after a screen was vandalized, and the reported Rs 200–250 crore budget heightens the stakes for Saturday–Sunday holds.
