Powerstar Pawan has stormed the box office with Vakeel Saab. The niche content film redesigned to fit the Telugu audience is working wonders at the box office. It has recorded the best opening day ever for a movie in the post-corona recovery phase in the Indian film industry. In Telugu, it is the third-best opening movie of all time (non-Baahubali 2).
A sensational opening was always on the cards, as we updated in our advance booking report. They were phenomenal everywhere. All that was needed was talk, and it has come out in the movie’s favour.
Vakeel Saab hit a little roadblock with ticket rates issues, but it didn’t hamper the fans mood or the crowd enthusiasm. The film registered houseful shows throughout the day and across the various territories.
The opening day collection of Vakeel Saab is a little above 32 Cr. It has done excellently across the board. That it reached such a number despite the issues with pricing and extra shows highlights a much bigger number would have been on the cards.
As it stands, Vakeel Saab is the third-best opener (non-BB2) behind Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa and Prabhas’s Saaho.
India wide, Vakeel Saab has surpassed Master to become the biggest opener of the year. The extraordinary thing to remember here is that it has done so with a single version and no support from other states.
Overall, Vakeel Saab has crossed 50 Cr gross on the opening day. It is now well on its way to achieving a breakeven status for Pawan Kalyan after a long gap of eight years.
