Pogaru Day 1 Predictions: Dhruva Sarja Starrer Expected To Mint Massive Collection At The Box Office
It's a big day for the Kannada film industry. One of the highly-talked-about films Pogaru starring Dhruva Sarja and Rashmika Mandanna has been released today (February 19, 2021). As expected, the film has opened to a terrific response and audiences can't stop raving about the action-entertainer.
Interestingly, not just in Bengaluru, the film has been garnering huge love from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu too. Crossing all regional barriers, the film has turned out to be a hit this Friday. Though the Dhruva Sarja-starrer had a close competition with other south films including Mohanlal's Drishyam 2 (Malayalam-Amazon Prime release), Vishal's Chakra (Tamil), and Allari Naresh's Naandhi (Telugu), Pogaru was successful in garnering huge attention and pulling the audience to the theatres. Interestingly, the film has also created an interesting record with its show numbers. Notably, Pogaru has surpassed the screen counts of KGF and Pailwaan, to become the film with the most show counts (640-670)
