Unlike any other Friday, last Friday (August 11), We have seen 3 prominent films clashing at box office. Let us have a look at how they performed at box office and who dominated whom.
Rana’s ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’ has led the pack by putting up commendable performance in multiplexes as well as single screens. Excellent performances, engaging narration and decent reviews helped the Rana starrer to emerge a clear winner among the three films in contention. This Teja directorial is leading in the US as well. NRNM is on its way to become the biggest solo hit of Rana.
Jaya Janaki Nayaka opened almost on par with NRNM on Day 1 but fell behind the latter over the weekend. As expected, the Boyapati directorial has attracted B,C centre audiences big time but the same can’t be said about A centres. JJN has however collected decent revenue over the first weekend and has secured second place among the three. Considering the huge budget splurged on making, the film has to hold well until anther two weeks at least to go anywhere near break even status.
Nithin’s LIE on the other hand didn’t get the opening it deserved. The film was praised for its interesting premise, stylish presentation and thrilling execution but it somehow failed to connect to mass audiences. Competition with two biggies has also reportedly dented the film’s revenue at box office, placing it at third place this weekend. Relentless makers have now intensified the promotions by planning success tours. Considering that huge budget was invested on this stylish action thriller, the film has a mountain to climb. We need to wait for a few more days to see how well LIE sustains in theatres.
