Box Office: Prabhas starrer Radhe Shyam First week box office; On a freefall in weekdays
Radhe Shyam was on freefall during the weekdays at the box office, as it wrapped its first week at Rs. 109 crores approx, after an opening weekend of Rs. 92 crores, adding a mere Rs. 17 crores approx in the weekdays. The film is out of cinemas at most places after a one-week run, with the release of Bachchan Pandey and James in Karnataka. The film is holding some 550 sites in its second week in AP/TS but the collections are at a very low level, so it will be hardly adding anything to its total and will probably close around Rs. 115-120 crores in India.
The day-wise box office collections of Radhe Shyam at the Indian box office are as follows:
Friday - Rs. 42 crores
Saturday - Rs. 25.50 crores
Sunday - Rs. 24.50 crores
Monday - Rs. 7 crores
Tuesday - Rs. 4.50 crores
Wednesday - Rs. 3.50 crores
Thursday - Rs. 2.25 crores
Total - Rs. 109.25 crores
The film faced outright rejection everywhere in the country whether it was the Telugu version or Hindi. The Hindi version of the film was overshadowed by a much smaller release The Kashmir Files during the weekend and on weekdays Gangubai Kathiawadi which was in its third week was collecting more than it. In fact on Thursday, The Kashmir Files was ahead of the film in Hyderabad city itself. The film is one of the biggest box office disasters ever seen in Indian cinema with losses expected to be around Rs. 100 crores. 
The territorial breakdown for opening day box office collections of Radhe Shyam at the Indian box office is as follows:
Nizam - Rs. 32.75 crores (Rs. 19.80 crores share)
Ceeded - Rs. 9.60 crores (Rs. 7.10 crores share)
Andhra - Rs. 30.80 crores (Rs. 20.85 crores share)
AP/TS - Rs. 73.15 crores (Rs. 47.75 crores share)
Karnataka - Rs. 8.60 crores (Rs. 4.30 crores share)
North India - Rs. 24.25 crores (Rs. 10.25 crores share)
Tamil Nadu/Kerala - Rs. 3.25 crores (Rs. 1.20 crore share)
India - Rs. 109.25 crores (Rs. 63.50 crores share)
It was always going to be a risky experiment, with the film looking like an unconventional love story devoid of any sort of commercial paddings like action and melodrama. If it was a regular love story with those commercial paddings, the result could have been different. It was also not in line with the larger than life action hero image that Prabhas has cultivated with Baahubali, something that helped Saaho immensely with the opening but did nothing here. There will be many in media that will be writing off Prabhas after this which isn't wise as he still has a huge clout and that will be on full display with his next few that are in line with his image.
