Irumudi, starring Ravi Teja, has registered an excellent start at the Indian box office, and with no major competition in the Telugu market, it is all set to have a blast in the crucial first few days. Backed by highly positive word of mouth right from day 1, the film is set to keep building through the opening weekend and beyond, positioning it as a genuine massive success for the actor. Keep reading for a detailed report!
What is the budget of Ravi Teja’s Irumudi?
The Telugu entertainer was reportedly made on a budget of 35 crore, making it a low-risk affair by the current standards of Telugu cinema. The biggest reason behind this controlled budget is a massive pay cut taken by Ravi Teja himself, driven by his string of back-to-back failures in recent years. He reportedly dropped his remuneration from 25 crore to just 8 crore for this film, a significant personal decision that has directly helped keep the overall budget in control and improved the film’s chances of a profitable run.
Recovers over 40% of the budget on the opening day
Against a budget of 35 crore, Irumudi needs to earn 35 crore net at the Indian box office to enter the safe zone. On day 1 alone, the film has already recovered 42.28% of that cost, earning a solid 14.8 crore net. At this pace, full budget recovery looks very much achievable within the opening weekend itself, which is a rare feat for a Telugu film in present times.
How much does the film need to become a clean hit at the Indian box office?
To become a clean hit at the Indian box office, Irumudi must make 100% returns on its budget, which will be achieved at 70 crore net. Considering the highly favorable word-of-mouth the film has generated since its opening day, this target looks well within reach and is likely to be achieved in the coming days. Yes, the release of Toxic will impact the film’s run, but still, the hit verdict is likely to be achieved without any trouble.
