After a long gap, Telugu cinema has received a notable film with Andhra King Taluka. This Ram Pothineni and Bhagyashree Borse starrer released today and opened decently in theaters.
Last night and this morning, the film showed a slow advance booking trend. It sold around 1 to 1.5k tickets per hour on BookMyShow which was a sedated start for a Ram film.
The decent reviews seem to have helped. The Ram film is now picking up with 4 to 4.5k tickets per hour on BookMyShow. This shows a clear jump in momentum and the signs are positive.
If this upswing continues through the evening and late night, the film could cross 7k tickets per hour. That would be a good number for Ram after a row of duds at the box office.
With this start, the film must hold strong through the weekend to collect big revenues. The decent reviews and good word of mouth indicate that the film has a promising road ahead.
Ram badly needed a commercial hit and there was growing pressure to deliver a sensible film. Andhra King Taluka now appears to be the film that can finally give him the relief he has been waiting for.
