Friday - Rs. 7 crores
Saturday - Rs. 7 crores
Sunday - Rs. 6.25 crores

The box office numbers are quite decent, considering the limited release and the reduced ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh. Fortunately, the film is an "own-release" in Coastal Andhra, which mean the distribution sector won’t be facing any losses, with makers carrying the risk while Nizam and Ceeded were sold. The film needs Rs. 11 crores approx share to see it’s Nizam and Ceeded distributors break-even, and has already recovered Rs. 6 crores plus for them. With the holidays period ahead, the film should see them in black.
