Akkineni Nagarjuna-starrer Telugu film "Soggade Chinni Nayana", which released a week ago alongside three other Sankranti releases, has emerged victorious with over Rs.25 crore earnings at the ticket window.

"In its first week, the film collected over Rs.25 crore worldwide. The film was sold for Rs.15 crore and it's expected to do total business worth Rs.35 crore to Rs.40 crore, which makes it a successful venture," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.
