The total footfalls for Telugu movies on National Cinema Day in the US are estimated to be around 60,000, and the total collections are around $180K gross, which is simply phenomenal.
The Indian audience is also getting such an offer on September 16 when all the cinema theaters in Inda would screen movies just for Rs. 75. It would be interesting to see how many footfalls the offer will attract in India.
