Telugu film Bhaagamathie, starring Anushka Shetty, a contemporary horror-thriller film, has collected over Rs 12 crore worldwide on its opening day.
The film, which opened to positive to mixed reviews, was released on January 26 and commenced on a solid note at the box office.
Despite intense competition from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmaavat, which is one of the most awaited films of the year, Bhaagamathie managed to pull off a decent business at the box office.
According to reports, the Telugu version alone has earned over Rs 12 crore. Apparently, the film has surpassed Ansuhka’s earlier women oriented films like Arundhati and Rudhramadevi collections.
Anushka’s loyal fan base and the intriguing trailer of the film paid off quite well for the first day collections. Now, it’ll be interesting to see the fate of the film at the box office in the coming days.
Directed by G Ashok, Bhaagamathie was released worldwide on the occasion of Indian Republic Day, January 26.
