Anushka’s “Bhaagamathie” was simply unstoppable at box office in its first weekend. After taking a sensational opening (about 12 Cr gross), the film had a rock solid hold on the Saturday and the Sunday to collect 26 Cr at worldwide box office in its opening weekend (only 3 days). The collections are spectacular considering that they are registered for a heroine-centric film.
