Amidst
much
fanfare
and
expectations,
Allu
Arjun's
Duvvada
Jagannadham,
released
across
the
globe.
However,
the
movie
opened
to
mixed
talk
from
the
audience
and
not
so
appealing
review
from
the
critics.
The
movie
has
been
criticised
for
its
pale
and
outdated
script
that
has
been
labelled
as
yet
another
commercial
movie
from
Harish
Shankar.
The
initial
talk
has
not
deterred
the
prospects
of
DJ
opening
day
collections
at
the
box
office.
The
Allu
Arjun-starrer
has
opened
to
some
fabulous
numbers
and
is
now
the
career
highest
and
best
opening
for
the
Stylish
Star.
Allu
Arjun,
who
is
on
a
roll
after
the
hat-trick
of
successes,
might
not
be
able
to
strike
it
four
in
a
row
with
DJ,
due
to
its
unanimous
negative
talk.
The
movie
had
all
chances
of
striking
it
big
at
the
box
office
due
to
relatively
no
big
releases
post
Baahubali
2
and
for
the
added
edge
of
the
extended
market
post
Baahubali.
Due
to
the
very
same
said
reasons,
DJ,
had
made
a
cool
pre-release
business
of
over
a
100
Cr
and
now,
recovery
of
80
Cr
from
theatricals
alone
seems
to
be
a
daunting
task.
DJ,
on
Day
1
has
grossed
a
whopping
24
Cr
in
AP/TG
circuits
while
the
distributor
share
stands
at
18.36
Cr.
The
very
interesting
fact
is
that
the
collection
of
Nizam
region.
Nizam
alone
has
earned
a
share
of
4.95
Cr
which
is
higher
than
Chiranjeevi's
Khaidi
No
150
and
Pawan
Kalyan's
Katamarayudu's
Day
1
share
of
the
region.
USA,
Karnataka
and
ROW
too,
have
contributed
in
a
decent
manner
taking
the
overall
stats
to
a
bit
less
than
34
Cr.
DJ
now
occupies
the
10th
position
in
the
all-time
biggest
South
Indian
openers
category.
The
movie,
however,
needs
to
do
a
lot
of
business
in
order
to
recover
80
Cr
to
attain
hit
status.
Going
by
the
present
talk
and
trend,
the
movie
might
earn
less
than
70
Cr
and
end
up
as
an
average
grosser
at
the
box
office.
Not
to
forget
the
fact
that
the
GST
rollout
is
slated
for
July
1
and
the
tax
slabs
will
be
higher
for
movies.
This
infers
the
fact
that
the
distributor
share
will
be
dented
even
further
and
so
are
the
prospects
of
the
movie
at
the
box
office.
One
will
have
to
wait
and
watch
whether
Bunny's
acting,
Pooja's
glamour,
Harish's
writing
and
DSP's
music
would
be
able
to
save
the
movie
in
the
coming
days.
