Directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, Bhairavam is the latest action drama starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohith as the leads. The film received decent reviews. However, Bhairavam sees no growth on Day 2.

Bhairavam Box Office: Not Much Growth On Day 2

The film had a decent start at the box office with around 3.5 Cr gross worldwide, including a few hires, and it was expected to take a big jump on the next day. But the film did not pick up the momentum and also showed 80%–90% hold of day 1.

The film collected gross around 6.25 Cr for two days. The trade is a bit worried as Bhairavam sees no growth on Day 2. This is definitely not enough for the film, as it has to collect at least 25 Cr gross theatrically.

Bhairavam needs to see a massive jump today for a decent weekend, and if today the film fails to pick up the momentum, then holding the momentum from tomorrow is also very tough.
