Nani’s Dasara has got off to a sensational start at the box office and gave him his career-best opening day record. The opening day collections of the movie are on par with tier 1 heroes and have registered the best opening day collections of 2023 surpassing Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy.
Seeing the mammoth collections of Dasara on Day 1 many have now started claiming Nani is now a part of tier 1. While the Natural Star has every qualification to be a part of tier 1, it is too soon to declare him in the league of topmost stars.
A mere opening day record for one movie should not be treated as tier one qualification. Earlier as well, we saw Nani with MCA which opened numbers on par with tier 1 opening and later he struggled to beat his movie opening record till Dasara. Vaishnav Tej also got huge with Uppena and the next films failed to make breakeven leave alone a decent opening.
Similarly, Akhil with his debut managed to put numbers on par with top heroes and later he struggled to get a good opening. Naga Chaitanya with Majili and Love Story got very good openings and his next film Thank You has a disastrous day 1. The same is the case with Vijay Deverakonda, Ram, Nithin, and many other tier 2 heroes.
No one can not enter tier 1 simply with one huge opening film and they have to maintain consistency and beat their opening records. The stardom and brand of tier 1 heroes like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, NTR, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, and Prabhas have only increased with each film despite box-office performance. The buzz around their films and craze for movie rights is a result of years of brand growth and Nani or any other hero needs consistent big openers and hits to achieve that.
But, at the moment, Nani has the strongest contention of entering tier 1 in the coming days if he keeps on delivering openings in this level.
