Day
1
Collections
As
per
initial
reports,
Dear
Comrade
collected
a
share
of
around
Rs
6
crore
at
the
AP
and
TS
box
office
on
Day
1
and
opened
on
a
fair
note.
One
is
likely
to
get
a
clearer
picture
once
the
official
figures
are
revealed.
Mixed
Fortunes
Dear
Comrade
reportedly
did
pretty
well
in
Nizam
with
most
shows
witnessing
a
good
occupancy.
It,
however,
struggled
to
make
an
impact
in
the
mass
centres
where
it
faced
stiff
competition
from
iSmart
Shankar.
The
buzz
is
that
the
film
has
failed
to
work
with
the
masses
as
it
is
not
a
commercial
potboiler.
A
Crucial
Release
Unlike
Vijay
Deverakonda's
previous
release,
Dear
Comrade
has
hit
screens
in
four
languages
(Telugu,
Malayalam,
Tamil
and
Kannada)
and
this
makes
it
a
big
deal
for
all
concerned.
If
the
film
works
at
the
box
office,
it
might
establish
the
NOTA
hero
as
a
force
to
be
reckoned
with.
All
in
all,
this
is
a
high-stakes
affair.
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
general
feeling
is
that
Dear
Comrade
is
a
decent
attempt
at
storytelling
that
is
let
down
by
a
slow
second
half.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
not
too
positive
and
this
might
prove
to
be
a
cause
of
worry
once
the
initial
hype
dies
down.
The
Road
Ahead...
Dear
Comrade
is
likely
to
witness
good
growth
over
the
weekend
and
rake
in
the
moolah.
While
it
might
face
some
difficulties
in
B
and
C
centres,
it
will
most
probably
exceed
expectations
in
the
urban
areas.
