AP/TS
Collections
As
per
initial
estimates,
Gang
Leader
raked
in
around
Rs
3.5
crore
at
the
AP
and
TS
box
office
on
Day
2
and
continued
its
good
run.
The
actual
collections
might
be
higher
if
offline
ticket
sales
are
up
to
the
mark.
Finer
Deets
Gang
Leader
fared
better
in
multiplexes
when
compared
to
single-screen
theatres,
which
is
not
too
surprising
given
the
genre
of
the
movie.
Similarly,
it
remained
stable
in
the
bigger
cities
while
witnessing
a
drop
in
mass
centres.
The
average
occupancy
for
Day
2
was
around
40
per
cent.
A
Crucial
Release
For
Nani
Earlier
this
year,
Nani
became
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons
when
Jersey
proved
to
be
a
commercial
success,
receiving
rave
reviews
from
movie
buffs.
If
Gang
Leader
too
does
well
at
the
box
office,
it
is
likely
to
help
the
Eega
hero
give
strong
proof
of
his
star
power.
The
Road
Ahead…
The
consensus
seems
to
be
that
Gang
Leader
is
a
fair
attempt
at
storytelling,
however
it
is
not
perfect.
While
Nani
is
good,
the
climax
and
most
portions
of
the
first
half
are
not
too
impressive.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
mixed,
which
might
affect
Gang
Leader
once
the
initial
buzz
dies
down.
Either
way,
the
film
needs
to
stay
strong
on
Sunday
(September
15)
in
order to
end
its
first
weekend
on
a
good
note.
