Dhanush has appeared in both Bollywood and Hollywood films. However, he does not have a huge following in the United States. Despite this, his latest film received a positive response.
Dhanush's film was released in the United States under the titles "Sir" and "Vaathi" in both Telugu and Tamil. However, the Telugu version outperformed the Tamil version. In its first weekend, the film grossed approximately $240k (both versions).
"Sir" Weekend Gross: $125k (approx.) and "Vaathi" Weekend Gross: $95k (approx.)
Kiran Abbavaram also had the best opening of his career with "Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha." While his previous film grossed around $60,000 in its entire run, "Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha" grossed nearly $68k in its first weekend alone.
The film did well at the box office because it was produced by GA2 Pictures, a well-known production company.
In contrast, Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" continued to perform well at the box office in the United States even in its fourth week. The film is now on track to gross $17 million.
On the other hand, the new Hindi film, "Shehzada," which is a remake of "Ala Vaikuntapurramlo," was a flop, making only about $300k in its first weekend.
