Upendra's
Godfather
has
got
thumbs
up
from
critics
as
well
as
from
audience.
The
movie,
which
was
released
on
July
27,
has
done
an
amazing
business
in
the
first
weekend.
A
source,
on
the
condition
of
anonymity,
has
said
that
Godfather
has
done
better
business
than
Uppi's
Katari
Veera
Surasundarangi
(KVS)
in
the
first
weekend.
"It
has
collected
close
to
Rs
3
crore
in
the
first
weekend
and
it
means
Godfather
got
a
better
opening
than
KVS."
He
further
adds,
"On
Friday,
it
raked
in
just
above
Rs
1
crore
with
an
average
of
85%
occupancy
in
most
of
the
theatres.
But
the
collections
dropped
on
Saturday
and
it
managed
to
earn
around
Rs
85
lakhs.
However,
the
movie
collected
Rs
1.05
crore
plus
on
Sunday
and
ended
the
weekend
on
a
good
note
at
collection
centres."
The
source
concludes
on
the
note
by
saying,
"Godfather
did
better
business
at
single
screens
than
multiplexes,
as
the
movie
is
yet
to
pull
the
family
audience.
The
multiplexes
witnessed
around
50%
occupancy
on
Friday,
60%
on
Saturday
and
Sunday."
The
movie,
which
was
released
in
above
130
screens,
stars
Upendra,
Soundarya
and
Catherine
in
the
leads.
Godfather
has
a
good
story
backed
with
Uppi's
different
avatars.
