Pradeep Ranganathan Scores His Second Hit in Telugu
Overseas collections too came good for Return of the Dragon (Telugu Title), as the film collected around 1.5M for weekend. In Telugu States, the film has collected close to 6 Cr gross. So, the overall worldwide gross of the film will be around 50 Cr for its 1st weekend. Today’s bookings also look strong, and the trade expects the film to continue the strong momentum at the box office.
NEEK had a disappointing 1st weekend in all areas. In Tamil Nadu, the movie collected around 4.5 Cr gross Worldwide, and the film has collected in the range of 8-8.5 Cr, which is a very disappointing number. Even though the film had decent reviews, it got hit by Dragon storm.
Dragon is heading towards a sensational blockbuster while Dhanush’s directional may end up as a commercial failure.
