First Success Post Covid Comes From Telugu Industry

Tuesday 29 December 2020 14.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

The first box office success in India post Covid has come from the Telugu film industry as Solo Brathuke So Better rakes up good numbers over its first four days. The film has beaten the numbers of Wonder Woman 1984 despite being a 400 odd cinema release against the 775 of Wonder Woman 1984.

The film had a very good start on Friday as it collected 3.75 crore nett on Xmas day and has held up pretty well since then. The film has to cover a 9 crore share from Nizam / Andhra to be in the plus and going by the first four day numbers it would have done 6.5 crore plus share in a normal situation and it could be higher in the pandemic as the terms are likely to be different and possibly more in the distributors favour. The film will probably cover within the first week.

The Telugu film industry has huge mass support and that could be the reason why a film has got good initial numbers but longer runs will probably still be tough as the family audience is not likely to come out just yet. The all India collections of Solo Brathuke So Better for the first four days are as follows. The contribution was very limited outside Nizam / Andhra with some collections coming from Bangalore mainly.

Friday - 3,75,00,000

Saturday - 2,75,00,000

Sunday - 2,25,00,000

Monday - 1,50,00,000

TOTAL - 10,25,00,000
