Daaku Maharaaj, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, did not live as much as high expectations. It showed the initial rush, but afterward, it witnessed a pointy decline and didn’t recuperate. Because of this, despite a likelihood of being Balayya’s first 150 crore grosser on the worldwide box office, the film wrapped up its theatrical run much below the 130 crore mark. So, let’s take a look at the closing collection report!
Reception of the film
Directed by Bobby Kolli, the Tollywood motion drama was theatrically released on 12 January. It opened to mixed reviews from critics but among the many ticket-buying audience, it had decent word-of-mouth. Unfortunately, the film did not capitalise on this and was ignored by the audience. Its business was significantly impacted by Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam.
Daaku Maharaaj – a losing affair!
Like every Balayya, Daaku Maharaaj was also a front-loaded affair and registered a smashing start. Being a Sunday release amid the Sankranti festive season, it smashed 25.35 crores on the opening day. Afterward, the film saw no significant improvement and kept losing momentum with each passing day.
As per the ultimate update, Daaku Maharaaj ended its run at 91.11 crore net on the Indian box office. Reportedly, the film was made on a budget of 100 crores. As we are able to see, it did not recuperate its cost through domestic net earnings, thus securing a losing verdict.
Closing collection on the worldwide box office
Similar to in India, the film didn’t perform on top of things within the overseas market and wrapped up at 18.10 crore gross, as per Sacnilk. Combining this with the Indian gross of 107.50 crores, the film closed its worldwide box office run at 125.60 crore gross.
With this, Daaku Maharaaj wrapped up its run as Nandamuri Balakrishna’s second highest-grossing film of all time. Veera Simha Reddy tops the list with 130.64 crore gross.
Worldwide collection breakdown:
India net- 91.11 crores
India gross- 107.50 crores
Overseas gross- 18.10 crores
Worldwide gross- 125.60 crores
