A new film starring Rajinikanth has collected over Rs 20 crore share in the Telugu states within three days of its release. The movie garnered Rs 10 crore on its first day, riding on pre-release hype.

An exhibitor stated that the film collected over Rs 5 crore on the second day in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. A distributor noted that the Rs 6 crore share collections on day three are a positive sign for the film's success.

Rajinikanth's one-man show has been a major draw for the audience. The dark humor in the film has resonated well with Telugu viewers.

Distributors indicate that Rajinikanth's popularity among the Telugu audience has not diminished, even after completing 50 years in Kollywood.
