Lucky Baskhar Previews: Dulquer Salmaan's crime-thriller sets cash registers ringing in Andhra Pradesh
Dulquer Salmaan's Lucky Baskhar received positive word-of-mouth from paid previews. The movie is set for a solid start at the box office.
Lucky Baskhar, starring Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role along with Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Ayesha Khan, is gearing up to hit the screens with a full-fledged release in a few hours. The Telugu crime thriller drama directed by Venky Atluri has shown good trends in advance bookings.
Lucky Baskhar Receives Positive WOM from Previews; Set For An Impressive Start
The makers of Lucky Baskhar organized paid previews today, a day before its full-fledged release. The response from the preview shows has been overwhelming. As per early estimates, it has grossed over Rs 1 crore from today's premiere only, which is a very good signal. The movie was already registering good pre-sales, and now, with positive word-of-mouth incoming from the paid previews, the advances will see an instant boost in sales.
Since Lucky Baskhar is a Telugu movie with a Malayali actor playing the lead, pre-sales are going well in Andhra Pradesh, while Kerala is showing a decent pace. The movie is sure to take an impressive start at the box office, with a major chunk coming from the APTS belt.
Lucky Baskhar Is Expected To Emerge A Success Venture This Diwali; Will Face Other Releases
Lucky Baskhar is poised for a successful Diwali run at the box office. The movie will enjoy an extended four-day opening weekend with previews on Wednesdays. However, it won't enjoy a free run at the ticket window. The movie must share screens with Kiran Abbavaram's small-budget movie KA in APTS, riding high with a positive initial talk. Moreover, Jr NTR's Devara Part 1 is still running on a reduced screen count in Telugu.
Lucky Baskhar will face Sivakarthikeyan's Amaran in Tamil Nadu, which has recorded excellent pre-sales. The movie is also releasing in the Hindi belt with a limited screen count, where it will get a massive dent by Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 wave, at least in the opening weekend.
It will be interesting to see how the Dulquer Salmaan starrer performs at the box office in the long run when the festive period ends.
