Ram
Charan
Teja's
recent
release
Racha,
which
has
a
recording
breaking
collection
in
Andhra
Pradesh,
had
a
great
business
in
Karnataka
too.
According
to
trade
analysts
in
the
state,
the
Sampath
Nandhi-directed
movie
has
collected
approximate
Rs
15
crores
nett
at
Box
Office.
The
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
(KFCC)
had
restricted
the
release
of
non-Kannada
movies
to
24
theatres.
But
recently,
the
Competition
Commission
of
India
(CCI)
has
imposed
a
fine
on
KFCC
for
obstructing
‘free
trade’.
This
development
has
opened
the
floodgates
for
statewide
release
of
non-Kannada
films.
Following
this
development,
Racha
is
the
first
film
to
release
in
more
than
24
screens.
Ram
Charan
Teja
starrer
movie
was
officially
released
in
90
screens
and
another
20-30
screens
without
advertisements
in
the
state.
According
to
trade
circles,
it
is
the
first
big
beneficiary
and
is
said
to
have
collected
up
to
Rs
15
crore
in
the
state.
However,
another
Telugu
film,
Dammu
is
now
set
to
release
in
150
screens
in
the
state
this
week.
It
should
be
seen
whether
this
movie
will
do
better
business
than
Racha
and
break
its
record
in
Karnataka
Box
Office.
