Friday saw the release of two South films at the box office – Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s ‘Bimbisara’ and Dulquer Salmaan’s ‘Sita Ramam’ that hit the theatres on August 5. A week before that another South film was released alongside a Bollywood movie; while Kiccha Sudeep’s ‘Vikrant Rona’ was released on July 28, Mohit Suri’s multi-starrer film ‘Ek Villain Returns’ had a theatrical release on July 29. Though Vikrant Rona and Ek Villain Returns had their share of earnings in the past week, this week, the collections are being raked largely by Bimbisara, which seems to be giving tough competition to pan-India release Sita Ramam. These two films, particularly Bimbisara, have forced the collections of other films to slow down since their release. Take a look at who was the winner in the Tuesday race at the box office.
Bimbisara: Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s Telugu film ‘Bimbisars’ has been performing well since the time it hit the theatres. Directed by Vashisht, the film has been produced by NTR Arts. Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, brother of Jr NTR, has returned to the big screen after two years. According to the initial figures, the film has done a business of Rs 3.32 crore on Tuesday. Now, the total earnings of the film have gone up to Rs 29.37 crore.
