Acharya Closing Collection Worldwide: Chiranjeevi's Movie Is A Disaster

With a combination that is as crazy as Megastar Chiranjeevi-Ram Charan-director Koratala Siva, the infamous Acharya is a film that the trio would want to forget that ever happened.

The much-hyped film, which underwent a long phase of production has opened in theatres as a half-baked cake, much to the chagrin of fans and cinema lovers. The movie also initially included Kajal Aggarwal, whose role got chopped off eventually and had Superstar Mahesh Babu lending voice over. However, the film tanked at the box office unimaginably, owing to its run-of-the-mill story and poor storytelling.

The film barely managed to scratch the surface of any big-budget flicks that were released earlier this year. Acharya could only do a worldwide business of Rs 131.20 Crore and the break-even point is Rs 132.50 Crore. The film bagged a loss of almost Rs 84.30 Crore worldwide.

To state the obvious, here are the numbers the film managed to score over the time since its release.

Nizam: Rs 12.39 Crore
Ceeded: Rs 6.18 Crore
UA: Rs 4.85 Crore
East: Rs 3.24 Crore
West: Rs 3.40 Crore
Guntur: Rs 4.59 Crore
Krishna: Rs 3.08 Crore
Nellore: Rs 2.94 Crore
AP-TG Total: Rs 40.67 Crore (Rs 59.65 Crore~ Gross)

Ka+ROI: Rs 2.78 Crore~
Overseas: Rs 4.75 Crore

Total Worldwide: Rs 48.20 Crore (Rs 75.70 Crore~ Gross)

Music was composed by Mani Sharma while the film was bankrolled by Ram Charan's home banner Konidela Production Company in association with Matinee Entertainment.
