Ravi Teja's Khiladi bombs at the box office with a Poor first week
Ravi Teja starrer Khiladi performed poorly at the box office with first week collections of just around Rs. 21 crores approx. Coming off the career biggest grosser Krack, Ravi Teja starrer had very high costs involved, more than his usual films. For any chance of succeeding, it needed to open strongly but that wasn’t the case with an ordinary start last week. The audience reception was mediocre, which meant trending was quite ordinary as well.
The film was overshadowed by a much smaller release DJ Tillu, which was released a day later but collections in AP/TS as of yesterday were barely any higher than that film. There was also a Hindi dubbed version released which grossed around Rs. 2 crores approx. In many smaller centres in the interiors of Hindi circuits, collections of Khiladi were par with straight Hindi release of the week Badhai Do. These numbers are of course not a lot, but to have around 150,000 come and watch a film starring a non-face with little to no awareness is encouraging enough and we just need to build on that.
The day wise box office collections of Khiladi at the Indian box office are as follows:
Friday - Rs. 6.35 crores
Saturday - Rs. 4 crores
Sunday - Rs. 4.30 crores
Monday - Rs. 2.30 crores
Tuesday - Rs. 1.60 crores
Wednesday - Rs. 1.25 crores
Thursday - Rs. 1 crores
Total - Rs. 20.80 crores approx
The film has a budget of reportedly Rs. 60 crores and India theatrical rights were sold at Rs. 25 crores approx but the first-week share at the Indian box office is just Rs. 9.75 crores. There is no major new release this week but the collections were at very low levels during the weekdays to give it any chance for a somewhat okay second week. Distributors will end up losing more than half of their investment for the film.
