As
per
early
estimates,
Gang
Leader
collected
around
Rs
4
crore
at
the
AP
and
TS
box
office,
emerging
as
the
top
choice
of
Nani
fans.
The
official
figures
are
likely
to
be
released
pretty
soon.

The
Stakes
Are
High
Gang
Leader's
worldwide
theatrical
rights
were
sold
for
Rs
30
crore,
which
makes
it
a
safe
venture
for
all
concerned.
The
film,
however,
needs
to
perform
better
than
Jersey
in
order
to
be
a
commercial
success.
As
such,
the
stakes
are
a
bit
higher
this
time
around.
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
general
feeling
is
that
Gang
Leader
is
a
decent
attempt
at
storytelling
that
clicks
because
of
Nani's
stellar
performance.
The
climax,
however,
has
been
criticised
for
being
‘routine' and
‘predictable'.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
mixed,
which
might
be
a
problem
for
Gang
Leader
in
the
long
run.
The
Road
Ahead…
Gang
Leader
is
likely
to
do
well
on
Saturday
(September
14)
and
Sunday
(September
15),
ending
its
first
weekend
on
a
good
note.
It
is
unlikely
to
face
any
competition
from
the
Telugu
version
of
Pailwaan
as
Nani
is
a
more
established
name
in
Tollywood
when
compared
to
Sudeep.
Gang
Leader
might,
however,
run
into
trouble
when
Varun
Tej's
Valmiki
hits
screens
on
September
20.
