Lately,
Sandalwood
has
been
praised
for
producing
some
of
the
finest
films.
Unlike
other
film
industries,
Kannada
movies
were
usually
made
with
comparatively
lower
budgets.
However,
films
such
as
Villain
and
KGF
that
were
released
last
year
broke
the
trend
by
not
only
being
created
with
high
budgets,
but
also
for
collecting
huge
sum
at
the
box
office.
While
2018
ended
with
the
monster
hit
KGF
Chapter
1,
2019
started
with
the
super
hit
Nata
Sarvabhouma.
Therefore,
we
decided
to
bring
to
you
all
time
top
5
day
1
Kannada
grossers.
You
would
be
surprised
to
learn
that
Puneeth
Rajkumar's
Nata
Sarvabhouma
has
lost
to
Sudeep
and
Shivrajkumar's
Villain!
Yash's
KGF
Tops
Just
yesterday
we
told
you
how
KGF
Chapter
1
is
heading
towards
the
300
crore
club.
As
of
now,
the
film
has
collected
around
Rs
240
crore
worldwide.
Yash's
action
film
has
bagged
the
first
spot
with
the
highest
box
office
collection
of
Rs
13.88
crore
on
the
first
day.
We
need
to
wait
and
watch
if
the
sequel
will
break
this
record.
Villain
Bags
Second
Spot
The
word
of
mouth
for
Shivrajkumar
and
Sudeep's
Villain
didn't
do
so
well.
Though
the
dual
starrer
movie
was
expected
to
do
miracles,
its
charm
faded
soon
following
the
release.
However,
Villain
managed
to
collect
Rs
9.12
crore
on
Day
1,
putting
it
second
on
the
list.
Nata
Sarvabhouma
Loses
To
Villain
Puneeth
Rajkumar
and
Rachita
Ram's
Nata
Sarvabhouma
which
released
last
week,
has
been
performing
well
in
the
theaters.
Though
the
film
has
kept
up
to
the
fans'
expectation,
it
did
not
witness
as
many
full
shows.
The
film
only
collected
a
total
of
Rs
7.9
crore
on
day
1.
Raajakumara
Was
A
Hit
As
Well
When
Puneeth's
action
film
Raajakumara
was
released
in
2017,
the
mass
went
gaga
over
the
film
and
the
songs
from
the
film
became
the
new
anthem
of
the
mass.
The
film
did
very
well
in
the
theatres
and
collected
Rs
7.30
crore
on
the
first
day.
Anjaniputra
Takes
5th
Position
Anjaniputra
was
another
film
of
Puneeth's
that
created
a
lot
of
buzz
in
2017.
The
film
successfully
completed
75
days
in
theatres.
As
per
Karnataka
Box
Office
reports,
the
movie
collected
Rs
6.61
crore
on
the
first
day.
