Bangalore:
Shivaraj
Kumar's
Shiva
has
done
a
remarkable
business
at
the
Sandalwood
Box
Office
in
the
opening
weekend.
The
movie,
which
was
released
in
225
screens
in
Karnataka,
has
collected
more
than
Rs
4.5
crore
in
the
first
weekend.
A
source
close
to
the
production
house
said,
"Response
for
Shiva
is
massive
throughout
Karnataka.
Almost
all
theatres
ran
for
packed
houses
in
the
state.
It
has
approximately
collected
Rs
4.5
crore
and
the
nett
collections
were
somewhere
around
Rs
4
crore." It
is
said
to
be
one
of
the
highest
collected
movies
of
the
year.
The
occupancy
for
the
single
screens
for
Shiva
in
Bangalore
is
approximately
100%
and
around
85%
at
multiplexes
in
the
first
weekend,
adds
a
source.
However,
the
dream
run
is
expected
to
continue
for
a
couple
of
days
due
to
hardcore
Shivanna
fans
but
it
is
to
be
seen
whether
the
movie
has
the
ability
to
pull
the
crowd
after
the
first
week.
Shiva,
directed
by
Om
Prakash
Rao
and
produced
by
KP
Srikanth,
stars
Shivaraj
Kumar-Ragini
Dwivedi
in
the
leads.
