Chiranjeevi has done it again. His star power and charisma remain unaffected. The megastar's film dominated the box office in the United States.
The 'artificial attempts' to make Balakrishna's film a box office success failed miserably.
"Waltair Veerayya", starring Chiranjeevi, drew large crowds. The film's domestic success can be attributed to the festival season.
However, there is no such thing as a festival season in the United States. Nonetheless, it became a huge blockbuster. In three days, the film grossed $1.7 million (plus premiere shows).
"Waltair Veerayya" will also pass the $2 million mark in a few days. Monday is also a federal holiday in the United States. It's a genuine blockbuster. Chiranjeevi has made it a success despite the fact that the content is fairly average.

Balakrishna's "Veera Simha Reddy" stunned everyone with its massive number of premiere shows, thanks to bulk booking by a community.
However, the film failed to gross as much as the Tamil films ``Thunivu" and "Varisu '' did after that. It performed poorly on the other days. Nonetheless, the film passed the $1 million mark, owing largely to the massive number of premiere shows.
#VeeraSimhaReddy: Wed $708,472 Thu $71,240 Fri $68,956 Sat $85,828 Sun:$60k (apprx) Total Gross: $996k (apprx)
Ajith's "Thunivu," on the other hand, is a first hit for the Tamil film industry in the United States in 2023. The film made $930k. It recouped all of its expenses. As a result, it became a smash hit in the United States.
Thalapathy Vijay's "Varisu" did well as well. So far, the film has received over $900k collection. However, in order to break even, the film must earn $1.6 million.
