Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka has made a decent entry at the box office, riding on the popularity of director Trinadha Rao Nakkina, who delivered a hit with Dhamaka.
The film’s entertaining trailer generated good buzz, and its Shivaratri release on February 26 helped it get initial traction.
However, the film has only managed average collections, with mixed talk affecting its momentum. Meanwhile, the makers have finalized its OTT streaming platform.
The digital rights of Mazaka have been acquired by ZEE5 for a good price before its release. The makers have reportedly agreed to stream it after a four-week theatrical run, meaning it is likely to premiere on ZEE5 in late March.
Mazaka collected around 2 crores gross on its opening day, which is lower than expected considering the pre-release hype. With mixed word-of-mouth, its full-run collections remain uncertain.
The film needs to earn 11 crores to break even, and this weekend’s performance will be crucial in determining its fate.
The film stars Sundeep Kishan and Ritu Varma in lead roles, with Rao Ramesh and Anshu playing crucial roles. The film, blending father-son emotions with comedy, has a story and dialogues penned by Bezawada Prasanna Kumar.
The film’s performance in the coming days will determine whether it can pick up momentum or settle for an average run.
