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 set for a full-fledged release in theatres from 31st October, 2024. The Telugu crime thriller drama directed by Venky Atluri has shown good trends in advance bookings for the opening day as well as the opening weekend.
Lucky Baskhar Receives Positive WOM from Previews; Set For An Impressive Box Office Campaign
The makers of Lucky Baskhar organized paid previews, 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 premieres (6pm onwards) itself, which is a very good sign. The movie was already registering good pre-sales, and now, with positive word-of-mouth coming from the paid previews, the bookings will see an instant boost.
Since Lucky Baskhar is a Telugu movie with a Malayali superstar playing the lead, pre-sales are going well in Andhra Pradesh. Kerala is showing a decent pace. The major chunk of Lucky Baskhar's business will come from the APTS belt on the opening day. However, the Kerala market can't be underestimated as it is known to be the most leggie markets for films with good word of mouth.
Lucky Baskhar Is Expected To Emerge A Successful Venture This Diwali; Will Face Other Significant Releases
Lucky Baskhar is poised to be successful at the box office. It will enjoy an extended four-day opening weekend; five days considering the Wednesday night paid previews. However, it won't enjoy a free run at the tickets window. The movie has to share screens with Kiran Abbavaram's suspense-drama movie KA in APTS, which is also 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.
