Irumudi:
Back in action with a bang! Ravi Teja’s film Irumudi has opened on a strong note at the box office, grossing ₹24.20 crore worldwide gross on Day 1. After a few misses, this opening comes as a welcome one for the Mass Maharaja.
Irumudi is directed by Shiva Nirvana. It features Ravi Teja, Priya Bhavani Shankar and Baby Nakshathra in the lead roles. The supporting cast of Irumudi includes Sai Kumar, Ajay Ghosh, Swasika Vijay, Ramesh Indira, Rajkumar Kasireddy, Kishore Kumar Polimera, Meesala Lakshman, Ramana Bhargav and Karthik Adusumilli.
Not only is Irumudi not relying on Ravi Teja’s mass image. The film is an action-drama with emotional content centered around the father-daughter relationship. The emotional aspect of Irumudi seems to work well with the audiences as the film has got good reviews from the early viewers who have appreciated the emotional scenes, Ravi Teja’s performance and the way the story balances the action and emotions of the family.
Another big positive is the Day 1 box-office number. Irumudi has reportedly collected ₹14.80 crore India net on Day 1. The worldwide gross stood at ₹24.20 crore on the film’s Day 1. In the Telugu version of Irumudi, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have contributed approximately ₹15 crore gross collections.
This opening comes as a big win for Ravi Teja. Irumudi has reportedly delivered his biggest solo opening, thus making the Day 1 box-office figure even more impressive. This opening would definitely make Ravi Teja happy considering the last few box office underperformances of his movies.
Industry support for the film is also on. Nagarjuna has congratulated Ravi Teja and termed his film Irumudi as a blockbuster.
So, now the weekend becomes a very important element. The first day opening is impressive, but if the positive word of mouth carries forward and family audiences also come in big, Irumudi can have a successful theatrical run.
Right now, there is everything to be optimistic about – a solid ₹24.20 crore worldwide opening, positive word of mouth and Ravi Teja putting up a strong performance.
