Bheemla Nayak starring Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati is nearing the end of its box office run. It is confirmed to settle with losses in Telugu states (mainly Andhra Pradesh) to the tune of 12 Cr to 15 Cr.
At the end of its second weekend, Bheemla Nayak is estimated to have collected a little over ninety crores. The final number is not yet confirmed, but it certainly won’t be reaching the 100Cr mark. It will fall short by a few crores.
Coming to the losses, Bheemla Nayak had done a pre-release business in between 103 Cr to 108 Cr (depending on adjustments based on rates). Whatever be the final number it’s sure to be a loss-making proposition.
Bheemla Nayak expected loss is between 12 Cr to 16 Cr. Incidentally, the entire loss comes from Andhra Pradesh. The Andhra Pradesh government ticket rates issues are to be blamed here. Ceded alone the loss would be more than 5 Cr.
In Nizam, Bheemla Nayak has scraped through the recovery mark. The openings and the hiked rates have helped its cause. It was quite opposite in Andhra Pradesh despite the movie actually sustaining better here (compared to Nizam territory which fizzed out after opening weekend).
In the US, and the rest of the overseas market, Bheemla Nayak has done well earning minor profits. It is a relief for Pawan Kalyan, especially considering all his past films have been loss-making ventures.
