Dasara Winner: Bhagavanth Kesari

This Dasara festival season, the Tollywood box office welcomed three new theatrical debutants and they are Bhagavanth Kesari, Leo, and Tiger Nageswara Rao. Here’s a look into the box office returns of the three films.

Firstly, Leo, multilingual film has attained the breakeven mark in all areas except Andhra as it comes with a relatively small target, being a dubbed film. Andhra will also get there soon. The film is bound to reap good profits for everyone involved with the trade.

Tiger Nageswara Rao looks like a washout in terms of openings and weekend tally. Whatever numbers the film is posting now is due to the festival weekend and holidays advantage. It is downer at the box office.

As for Bhagavanth Kesari, the film has collected much more than Leo and Tiger Nageswara Rao in Telugu market. But the target is a pretty stiff one for the Balakrishna starrer as it comes with a huge theatrical business.

Bhagavanth is on the way to achieve the breakeven mark and the journey would make an interesting watch.

In terms of sheer theatrical revenues in Telugu, Bhagavanth Kesari is much much ahead of the other two Dasara releases. On that note, it is the clear Dasara winner.

But in terms of return on investment, Leo will be big with the low theatrical business and strong start it got at Telugu box office. In terms of volumes of collections, Bhagavanth is much ahead.
