Daaku Maharaaj’s Box Office Battle is unexpected. Nandamuri Balakrishna came before the audience with another action drama on this Sankranthi. Directed by Bobby, the film opened very well at the box office with decent word of mouth and reviews.
So, naturally, everyone expected the film to join the 100 Cr club easily and even there were expectations to join the 100 Cr club by the first Sunday itself. However, Daaku Maharaaj settled around 74 Cr share till Sunday (January 19), and there is no chance for the film to go near 100 Cr. Observing today’s noon shows’ trend, it is likely to end up around 80 Cr share.
The main reason for this is Family audiences’ majority section preferred to watch Sankranthiki Vasthunnam due to its genre, songs, pre-release craze, and Venkatesh’s brand in families which affected Daaku massively. That is why Daaku Maharaaj’s Box Office Battle is unexpected.
Balakrishna’s Daaku failed to win families compared to Sankranthiki Vasthunnam and it could attract only mass audiences. So, the box office potential for the film became limited. Overall final box office verdict will be decent for the film, with a few territories getting profits, and a few territories seeing minor losses.
