US Premieres: Sarileru Neekevvaru collects $760k

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’ has collected $760k from the premiere shows in the USA. This is one of the biggest openings for a Telugu movie in the USA in recent times as the overseas market has been in the slump. This film has given some boost to the market.

Among Mahesh Babu’s movies, this is the third-highest ever premiere number after ‘Spyder’ and ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’.

Spyder – $1 million
Bharat Ane Nenu – $900k (apprx)
Sarileru Neekevvaru – $760k

The film also collected about $220k dollars in Australia. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film won mixed reviews. While Mahesh Babu’s mass avatar has been appreciated, its formulaic scenes got thumbs down. Overall, it was declared as an okay watch.
