Akhil’s ‘Hello‘ has collected $210 K from the premiere shows and this number is a big thing for Akhil as his first movie, Vinayak’s directorial collections for the lifetime has been only $168 K.

With far better talk than Nani’s ‘MCA’ and decent ratings, Akhil’s second movie opening collections in US must be attributed to director Vikram Kumar and his credibility among the US audiences. Director’s reputation and the trailer did the magic for the decent openings of the movie.

Even Akhil didn’t disappoint in the re-launch movie and carried his role well. So, he is sure to erase the bad memories of his launch movie with this re-launch movie. To help him, there were no dramatic scenes where he has to enact. Overall, the director’s reputation is a big plus for the movie.
