Prabhas’ much anticipated Radhe Shyam hit the screens last Friday and got off to a good start. The film had a strong positive buzz and great pre-release business prior to its release. This led to massive hopes on the films with many expecting blockbuster openings from the film. The audience were eager to catch ‘Darling’ in a romantic role after more than a decade.
While Prabhas’ stardom got the movie off to a good start in the Telugu states, there weren’t many takers for the Hindi version right from day 1. The film saw steep drops over the weekend and Monday was no different in the north markets. The 1st weekend Hindi gross is astonishingly low and is in the range of Rs 15 Cr. This is not even 60% of Prabhas’ previous film Saaho opening day number.
After a decent weekend in Telugu states, Radhe Shyam dropped heavily on Monday. Looking at its current performance breakeven is not at all possible and even collecting Rs 100Cr share is a huge task for the film now. The romantic drama directed by Radha Krishna was well appreciated for its visuals. However, the screenplay and lack of gripping storytelling ended up as major drawbacks. A huge loss is expected for buyers and makers of the film.
