At
the
box
office,
Naga
Chaitanya-Krithi
Shetty's
Bangarraju
saw
an
expected
drop
in
collections
on
Monday
(January
17).
As
per
early
estimates,
on
day
4,
the
film
raked
in
Rs
3.55
crore
from
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana,
making
the
total
collection
of
the
supernatural
drama
nearly
Rs
27.12
crore.
Reportedly,
the
film
has
grossed
close
to
Rs
43.80
crore.
The
film
that
was
off
to
a
stupendous
start
on
Friday
(opening
day)
collecting
Rs
9.06
crore,
acquired
Rs
7.79
crore
and
Rs
6.72
crore
on
days
2
and
3
respectively.
Well,
going
by
the
trend
so
far,
the
film's
collection
might
gradually
decline
at
least
until
next
Friday.
However,
with
no
major
releases
in
theatres
in
the
days
to
come,
the
film
is
expected
to
compensate
for
the
loss
during
the
weekend.

Bangarraju
is
a
franchise
to
the
2016
film
Soggade
Chinni
Nayana
starring
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
and
Ramya
Krishnan
in
the
lead
roles.
The
duo
reprises
their
roles
from
the
original
in
the
latest
film.
Well,
Bangarraju
marks
Naga
Chaitanya
and
Nagarjuna's
second
film
to
release
post
the
pandemic
after
Love
Story
and
Wild
Dog.
Though
Love
Story
received
favourable
reviews
from
the
audiences
and
critics
alike,
Wild
Dog
had
to
face
a
lukewarm
response
from
the
theatres
as
many
expressed
disappointment
over
the
overly
hyped
film.
Coming
back
to
Bangarraju,

by

film
was
released
on

14
coinciding
with
