Ravi Teja‘s Irumudi is turning out to be a sensational comeback for the Mass Maharaja, with the film maintaining extraordinary momentum even in its second week. After a powerful opening of ₹24 crore gross worldwide, the film has continued to dominate the Telugu States box office. What has caught everyone’s attention is its second-Friday performance, with Irumudi putting up numbers better than several recent blockbusters and proving its theatrical run is far from slowing down.
Irumudi Beats Baahubali 2 & Pushpa 2 on Second Friday
Irumudi reportedly collected around ₹12 crore gross on its second Friday in the Telugu States, surpassing the second-Friday numbers of Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2 and Kalki 2898 AD. Only RRR is said to have registered a higher second-Friday figure among the films being compared.
Such numbers are a clear indication of the film’s strong theatrical hold. Audiences have continued to flock to theatres despite the arrival of other major releases, with the film’s emotional content and devotional backdrop resonating strongly. The second week typically sees significant drops for most releases, making Irumudi‘s sustained performance all the more remarkable.
Racing Towards ₹200 Crores Worldwide
The extraordinary second-week performance has significantly boosted Irumudi‘s prospects at the worldwide box office. The film has already emerged as one of Ravi Teja’s biggest successes and is now reportedly heading towards the ₹200 crore gross mark worldwide. More importantly, the film’s sustained run has transformed it from a promising comeback into a blockbuster story. If the current momentum continues, Irumudi could finish its theatrical journey with massive numbers and further cement Ravi Teja’s return to the big league.
