RRR Does Very Well On Day One
Saturday 26 March 2022 11.00 ISTBox Office India Trade Network
RRR (hindi) has scored very well on day one with collections in the 19 crore nett range and there will be another 2-2.50 crore nett plus coming from The Telugu version in Hindi circuits as well. The Telugu version is excellent with very high occupancy. The outperformance is in mass markets but multiplexes have also done well though this does look due to higher ticket rates as occupancy seems to be on the lower side. the occupancy rates are just a bit better than Gangubai Kathiawadi.
The performance in very good across the states especially the UP and Bihar markets. Maharashtra is also very good but actually could have been better as the South dubbed films have a bigger craze here. The first day number is an excellent number considering it being a South film with little face value. Yes it has a huge budget and high costs associated with it and for that maybe a higher number was needed but the audience does not go by those things.
The key for the film is where it goes from here and that multiplex business as there is plenty of spare capacity due to higher rates and the potential is there to record higher numbers. The first day number is good so its not about that huge 50 or 60% growth but a solid uptrend on day two especially in the multiplexes.
The opening day is the second best of the year and it has beaten Sooryavanshi in some circuits recording the highest opening day post the pandemic in these places. The film is generally lower than Saaho in all circuits though maybe when the finals of CP Berar come then it could be better in that circuit.
