Dhamaka, a film starring Ravi Teja, had a good start at the box office, collecting over Rs. 7 crores (Rs. 4.40 crores share) in Telugu states on its opening day. The collections outside Telugu states were limited, with Rs. 40 lakhs coming from Karnataka, for a total of Rs. 7.50 crores approx in India on its first day.

The first day collections are a little less than Ravi Teja’s previous release, Rama Rao on Duty, the shortfall can be attributed to Andhra Pradesh, possibly due to a smaller-than-usual release. Despite the lower start, the film is placed better than Rama Rao was after the first day due to better audience reports and the festive period ahead. The movie could have benefited more from the festive season, but the holidays of Christmas and New Year fall on a Sunday, which is already a holiday.

The territorial breakdown for the box office collections of Dhamaka in India is as follows:

Nizam - Rs. 3.15 crores (Rs. 1.85 crores share)
Ceeded - Rs. 1.05 crores (Rs. 75 lakhs share)
Andhra - Rs. 2.85 crores (Rs. 1.80 crores share)
