Naga
Chaitanya's
latest
release
Bangarraju
has
completed
a
week
of
its
theatrical
release.
The
film
continues
its
strong
foothold
in
the
Telugu
states.
It
opened
to
a
largely
positive
response
and
collected
Rs
9.06
crore
from
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana.
The
film
benefitted
from
the
Sankranti
festivities
and
the
postponement
of
biggies
including
RRR
and
Radhe
Shyam.
In
fact,
the
entertainer
even
outperformed
Chaitanya's
previous
release
Love
Story
that
released
on
September
24
last
year.
After
getting
off
to
a
good
start,
the
film
continued
to
fare
well
at
the
ticket
windows
on
days
2
and
3
as
it
collected
Rs
7.79
crore
and
Rs
6.72
crore
respectively.
Bangarraju
witnessed
an
expected
decline
over
the
week,
as
it
garnered
Rs
3.55
crore,
Rs
1.94
crore,
Rs
91
lakh
and
Rs
51
lakh
on
days
4,
5,
6
and
7
respectively.
Since
the
film
received
rave
reviews,
fans
and
followers
of
the
leading
actors
have
been
thronging
the
theatres
to
watch
the
supernatural
drama.
Well,
as
the
film
completed
a
week
of
its
theatrical
run
on
Friday,
it
bagged
close
to
Rs
35
lakh,
making
the
total
collection
Rs
31.10
crore
(share-approx).
Well,
with
no
major
releases
to
clash
with
during
the
second
weekend,
Bangarraju
is
expected
to
garner
more
moolah
on
Saturday
and
Sunday.
Recently,
Akhil
Akkineni
had
congratulated
the
team
for
the
success
of
the
film
tweeting,
"Im
a
proud
son
and
a

#Bangarraaju

Well,
to
celebrate
the
