Trade Talk: ‘I’m Expecting Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ To Earn ₹50 crore in India and ₹75 crore Globally’
Pawan Kalyan-starrer “Ustaad Bhagat Singh,” which released today on the festival of Ugadi, has taken a bumper opening at the box office. While the craze of Ranveer Singh’s “Dhurandhar 2” is across the country, the Harish Shankar-directed film has dominated the Telugu-speaking states, thus once again showcasing the superstardom of Pawan Kalyan.
Ramesh Bala, the prominent industry tracker from Chennai, tells Variety India, “The box-office occupancy in Telugu states is anywhere from 80 to 100 per cent. Many shows are sold out and filling fast.” Predicting the opening day of the masala entertainer, he adds, “I'm expecting ₹50 crore in India and ₹75 crore globally.”
On the other hand, Vishek Chauhan, Chief Executive Officer at Roopbani Cinema in Bihar, predicts ₹25-₹30 crore for its opening day.
