NTR mania is at its peak at the collection centres.

The film goers were desperately waiting to watch it. As it released today, theatres across the state screening Baadshah were overflowing with viewers within and outside in the morning and matinee shows. In many places, the theatre owners had to call the police to control the mob.

The Junior NTR and Kajal Aggarwal starrer has managed to drive unprecedented crowd outside both single screens and multiplexes across the state. Baadshah has registered 100% occupancy in both single screens and multiplexes. The film had huge amount of advance ticket booking and remaining few tickets were sold out early in the morning.

However, trade analysts have already predicted that Baadshah would collect Rs 15 to 20 crores nett on the first day of its release, thereby beating the record of the film Gabbar Singh, which is holding highest first day record at the Box Office. It should be seen whether Junior NTR's romantic action thriller would be able to set new record or not.
