Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s comeback film Vakeel Saab is all set to storm the cinemas in three days. It is time to look at its pre-release business and see what it needs to do at the box office to become a hit.
But, first, here is a reminder to the fans of Pawan Kalyan. It has been eight years since Pawan Kalyan scored a hit at the box office as a solo hero. His last box office sensation came way back in 2013 with Atharintiki Daredi. Since then, it has been all about the opening day and nothing beyond.
With Vakeel Saab, the fans would be hoping to see a clean hit after a long gap. The good news is it could be achieved easily if the movie gets a positive talk. Vakeel Saab is not only a comeback film of Pawan Kalyan, but it is also the first star-hero film in TFI after a year.
Even the last few weeks, too, have been draught full at the box office. No movie has scored great post the first week of Jathiratnalu. Additionally, the first week of Vakeel Saab comprises three holidays.
The pre-release business of Vakeel Saab is pegged at around 90 Cr worldwide. In the Telugu states, it needs approximately 78 Cr to achieve the breakeven status. A bit more to be called a hit.
The overseas business is around 5Cr. Vakeel Saab needs over a million and a half to enter the breakeven territory in the US.
Given the current buzz and hype surrounding Vakeel Saab, a positive talk should ensure a hit status all over at the least. The only problem is the niche content and the increasing corona cases. Would they (combined) pose a problem that needs to be seen?
Breakeven Benchmarks For Vakeel Saab:
AP and Telangana – 78 Cr
US – 1.5 Million
Worldwide – 90 Cr
