Skanda Takes A Decent Start At The Box Office Despite It Being Ram Pothineni's Biggest Opener

The opening day numbers of Skanda are deemed as decent, primarily because of the high prices that the film has been sold at. The APTS rights have been sold for Rs 40 crores and the rest of the rights in India and overseas have been sold for Rs 4 crores. The extended weekend, along with decent word of mouth should hopefully ensure that Skanda proves to be a safe venture for its investors.
