Arjun-starrer
Telugu
romantic-thriller
Iddarammayilatho
has
raked
in
Rs
8.01
crore
on
the
first
day
in
Andhra
Pradesh.
Directed
by
Puri
Jagannadh,
the
film
released
on
May
31.
The
premier
show
in
US
on
Thursday,
on
the
other
side,
made
$82,008
(around
Rs
46,39,192).
The
weekend
collection
in
India
seemed
good.
On
Saturday,
it
made
about
Rs
9
crores,
and
on
Sunday,
it
went
up
to
making
a
little
more
than
Rs
10
crores.
The
weekend
collection
in
India
increased
by
the
day,
but
that
was
not
the
case
with
the
US
collections.
The
movie
made
around
Rs
9
crores
on
Saturday
in
India
and
a
little
more
than
Rs
10
crores
on
Sunday.
However
in
US,
after
the
Thursday
Premier,
the
collections
on
Friday
descended
and
made
$82,008
(around
Rs
46,39,192)
and
on
Saturday
it
made
$71,954
(around
Rs
40,63,961).
Adding
Monday
and
Tuesday's
collections
the
movie
has
made
around
Rs
15
crores
in
India
and
US.
The
movie
which
is
made
with
a
budget
of
40
crores
has
almost
cashed
so
far,
and
by
the
end
of
the
first
week,
as
many
predict,
the
movie
will
cross
Rs
50
crore
mark
as
well.
Iddarammayilatho,
featuring
Allu
Arjun,
Amala
Paul,
Catherine
Tresa,
Bramhanandam,
Nassar
and
many
others,
started
out
with
very
high
expectations.
But
with
the
mixed
reviews
from
critics
all
over
might
have
affected
the
Box
Office
collection
of
the
movie.
Produced
by
Bandla
Ganesh,
the
film
is
the
second
collaboration
between
Puri
and
Arjun
after
Telugu
blockbuster
Desamuduru.
Iddarammayilatho
has
fared
well
than
most
of
the
big
films
released
in
the
last
two
months.
The
film's
collections
(so
far)
were
much
better
than
Venkatesh's
Shadow,
which
earned
a
total
of
just
Rs
16.52
lakh
from
52
screens
in
the
opening
weekend.
The
film
also
performed
slightly
better
than
Nagarjuna's
Greeku
Veerudu,
which
earned
Rs
92.54
lakh
from
49
screens
during
the
first
weekend.
However,
Iddarammayilatho
failed
to
beat
Jr
NTR's
Baadshah
which
made
a
fantastic
opening
in
the
US
by
minting
Rs
1.29
crore
on
the
preview
day.
The
NTR
starrer
minted
Rs
5.70
crore
in
the
opening
weekend.
