Daaku Maharaaj arrived on Netflix last month, which was too early compared to the release schedule of other films on any OTT platform. It was expected to start trending on the platform due to its genre and Nandamuri Balakrishna playing the lead role.
However, the situation has been different since it is still far away from breaking the viewership records made by Lucky Baskhar. Notably, Daaku Maharaaj accumulated 2.4 million views when it first premiered and the number witnessed a minor rise in the second week to 2.6 million.

Despite the low numbers, the film has still managed to grab a position among the top ten non-English films on Netflix that premiered by the beginning of this month.
Although it could not beat Lucky Baskhar, Daaku Maharaaj was able to beat Yami Gautam and Pratik Gandhi’s Dhoom Dhaam, since the latter had recorded only 2.5 million views. On the other hand, Daaku Maharaaj is still trending at the first spot in more than three countries.

Lucky Baskhar has maintained a very big number with 11.70 million views. Daaku Maharaaj’s viewership in two weeks is surprisingly higher than Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, which has recorded 4.9 million views.
It has also taken over the records made by Hi Nanna, Indian 2, Devara, Salaar, Rifle Club, Amaran, Savi, and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.

Considering that NBK’s film has recorded a decent number in terms of viewership, it remains to be seen if Akhanda 2’s streaming rights will be taken by Netflix and if that happens, the viewership numbers might match the ones made by Lucky Baskhar or surpass it in some way.
