Venky Atluri’s Lucky Bhaskar, having stars like Dulquer Salmaan and Meenakshi Chaudhary and backed by Naga Vamsi’s Sithara Entertainments, faced off against first-time directors Sujith and Sandeep’s KA, starring Kiran Abbavaram and an unknown heroine.
However, the USA box office winner was a surprise.

Lucky Bhaskar has collected $1,131,275 so far but is yet to reach breakeven for its U.S. distributor.
Lucky Bhaskar will run for the next four days in U.S. theaters, so there is a chance it will touch break even. After that, the new releases Kanguva and Matka will take over the U.S. box office from this Wednesday.

On the other hand, KA has collected $624,525, already reaching breakeven and entering the profit zone comfortably.
This may not matter much for a star like Dulquer Salmaan, but for director Venky Atluri, who is awaiting his first success in North America, it is surely a big disappointment.

For an upcoming actor like Kiran Abbavaram, this is a much-needed positive boost, and if he makes another genuine follow-up to KA, it will likely resonate in this region.
