Sai Dharam Tej and Samyuktha Menon starrer ‘Virupaksha’ heading towards blockbuster verdict, grosses over Rs 50 crores worldwide

The supernatural-horror-thriller ‘Virupaksha’ starring Sai Dharam Tej and Samyuktha Menon in lead roles is doing exceptionally well at the box office worldwide. Directed by Karthik Varma Dandu, the movie has already crossed the breakeven number everywhere and is now heading towards a blockbuster verdict. The worldwide gross of ‘Virupaksha’ has crossed Rs 50 crore and is expected to touch the Rs 75 crore mark soon.

The movie’s strong second-week hold has helped it in dominating its new Telugu movie rival, ‘Agent.’ The early breakeven of ‘Virupaksha’ is a positive sign, as it indicates that the film has a lot of business left in it.

The first-week territorial breakdown of the movie’s box office collections in India shows that it has grossed Rs. 41.06 crore in AP/TS, Rs. 3.23 crore in Karnataka, Rs. 70 lakhs in Tamil Nadu, and Rs. 4.80 crores in the Rest of India. The total Indian gross stands at Rs. 45.86 crores. The worldwide collection in the first week amounts to Rs. 55.93 crores.

Despite the absence of films by many big A-listers this year, Tollywood has witnessed an excellent run at the box office. ‘Virupaksha’ adds to the success of earlier hits like ‘Waltair Veerayya’ and ‘Veera Simha Reddy’ in January. Nani’s ‘Dasara’ and Sai Dharam Tej’s ‘Virupaksha’ have been the highest-grosser and biggest hits of the year.

Overall, ‘Virupaksha’ is a must-watch for horror genre lovers and a treat for Sai Dharam Tej’s fans. With a gripping storyline, fantastic performances, and impressive VFX, ‘Virupaksha’ is a complete package.
