Bharat Ane Nenu day-2 box-office collection: Mahesh's film grosses Rs 80+ crore

The Koratala Siva directorial was released in over 2,000 screens across the globe, amidst huge hype, expectations, and promotions. Bharat Ane Nenu collected Rs 55.50 crore gross at the worldwide box office on the first day. It earned around Rs 35 crore for its global distributors on the opening day.

Bharat Ane Nenu became the biggest opener for Mahesh Babu, beating the records of Spyder and Srimanthudu. The movie also shattered the



records of Khaidi No 150, Rangasthalam and Jai Lava Kusa. The film was expected to be the non-Baahubali biggest opener, beating the record of Agnyaathavaasi. But it failed and landed in the fourth rank in the list of biggest opener Telugu films of all time.

The movie received a positive talk from the audience and critics and the strong word of mouth helped it remain rock-steady at the box office on Saturday. But when compared to its first-day collection, the film witnessed over 50 percent drop in its business on its second day. The reason is that unlike Friday, the movie did not have extra shows and increased ticket prices on Saturday.
