Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Box Office Day 1: A Mixed Start for Nani’s Latest
Natural star Nani’s much-anticipated film “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram” had a decent opening, though it fell short of expectations. The film, directed by Vivek Athreya, registered a first-day collection of around 8.50 – 9.50 crore net in India, marking one of the best openings for a Telugu film in 2024. Despite this, it didn’t match the grand opening of Nani’s previous hit “Dasara,” which raked in 23.20 crore on its first day. Globally, “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram” is expected to gross 22 crore, thanks to strong performances in the US market.
