Bangarraju
starring
Naga
Chaitanya
and
Nagarjuna
in
the
lead
roles
graced
the
theatres
on
January
14
coinciding
with
Sankranti.
As
expected
the
film
garnered
a
great
deal
of
attention
from
the
audiences,
courtesy,
the
festival
season
and
postponement
of
biggies
like
RRR
and
Radhe
Shyam,
which
were
to
release
on
January
7
and
14
respectively,
but
were
later
postponed
owing
to
the
spike
in
COVID-19
cases.
Nevertheless,
Bangarraju
had
a
clash
with
weekend
releases
like
Hero,
Super
Machi
and
Rowdy
Boys.
The
supernatural
drama
helmed
by
Kalyan
Krishna
Kurasala
opened
to
a
stupendous
response
at
the
theatres
with
many
appreciating
Chaitanya's
enthralling
acting
chops.
Along
with
that,
his
sequences
with
the
film's
leading
lady
Krithi
Shetty,
their
chemistry,
whistle-worthy
dialogues
and
performances
of
other
actors
including
Ramya
Krishnan
and
Nagarjuna
received
immense
applause
from
the
audience.
Talking
about
Bangarraju's
collection
hunt
so
far,
the
film
collected
Rs
9.06
crore
on
its
opening
day
from
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana.
On
day
2,
the
entertainer
accumulated
Rs
7.79
from
the
Telugu
states.
Well,
as
per
early
estimates,
on
day
3,
i.e.
on
Sunday,
the
Naga
Chaitanya-starrer
acquired
a
collection
of
Rs
6.72
crore
making
the
total
collection
of
the
film
Rs
23.75
crore.
Going
by
the
collection
so
far,
the
film
has
been
able
to
pull
the
audiences
to
the
theatres
despite
the
COVID-19
scare
across
the
country.
