'Sarrainodu' mints Rs.72 crore in first week

Allu Arjun-starrer Telugu actioner "Sarrainodu", which opened to mixed reviews, has grossed a whopping Rs.72 crore in its first week worldwide.

"It approximately grossed Rs.72 crore in its first week, despite mixed reactions from critics. This is the highest opening for an Allu Arjun film. Since there's no big Telugu release this week, the film is likely to make it to the Rs.100 crore club next week," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.

Directed by Boyapati Srinu, the film also stars Rakul Preet Singh, Catherine Tresa, Aadi Pinisetty and Srikanth.
