Pawan
Kalyan’s
second
post
pandemic
venture
Bheemla
Nayak
is
on
a
dream
run.
Directed
by
Saagar
K
Chandra
and
written
by
Trivikram
Srinivas,
the
film
collected
an
impressive
Rs
26.42
Crore
(share)
with
its
theatrical
run
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
on
day
1.
On
its
first
weekend
(Saturday
and
Sunday),
the
power-packed
action
drama
raked
in
Rs
26.65
Crore.
As
its
first
weekday
began,
the
film’s
collection
graph
saw
a
decline,
however,
the
Maha
Shivratri
holiday
on
March
1
was
an
exception.
After
acquiring
Rs
5.18
Crore
on
Monday,
Bheemla
Nayak
made
a
staggering
Rs
7.25
Crore
on
Tuesday.
The
collection
shrunk
post
Maha
Shivratri,
as
the
Pawan
Kalyan-starrer
collected
Rs
3.32
Crore,
Rs
98
Lakh,
Rs
74
Lakh
on
days
6,
7
and
8
respectively.
Well,
on
day
9,
i.e.
on
Saturday,
the
film
managed
to
garner
immense
attention
from
the
audiences.
As
per
early
trends,
the
film’s
day
9
collection
stands
at
Rs
1
Crore
(approx).
The
film
has
also
been
making
an
impressive
amount
in
terms
of
overseas
collection.
Despite
getting
mixed
reviews
from
the
audiences
and
critics,
the
film
has
been
able
to
draw
people
to
theatres,
all
thanks
to
the
leading
man’s
superstardom
and
‘power’,
as
his
epithet
suggests.
Notably,
Bheemla
Nayak
is
the
first
Tollywood
biggie
to
release
in
2022,
and
its
performance
at
the
theatres
will
faintly
determine
the
fate
of
other
big
releases
like
RRR,
Radhe
Shyam,
Acharya,
Sarkaru
Vaari
Paata
and
others,
especially
in
terms
of
audiences
turn-up
amid
the
pandemic.
Bheemla
Nayak
is
a
remake
of
the
2020
Malayalam
film
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum
that
starred
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
Biju
Menon
in
the
lead
roles.
Produced
by
Suryadevara
Naga
Vamsi
of
Sithara
Entertainments,
the
latest
release
features
an
ensemble
cast
including
Rana
Daggubati,
Nithya
Menen,
Samyuktha
Menon,
Samuthirakani
and
Murali
Sharma.
