Sekhar Kammula's 'Fidaa' starring Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi is minting money at USA box-office.
Terrific positive reviews and great word-of-mouth has helped the film to gain hold.
The amount that came from premiere shows was modest but it gained hugely after the reviews came.
The Saturday’s collections are best example for this. It grossed 350k on that day.
Interestingly, it also grossed more than 200k dollars on Sunday, a feat very few Telugu films achieved this year.
Generally, collections for Sunday would be on lower side in USA. But the movie made people book the tickets.
Friday (+Premiere) $363k, Sat $351k Sun $220k (apprx) – Total $ 934k
‘Fidaa’ is expected to collect more than 1.5 million dollars by end of its run. The distributor who lost heavily on Allu Arjun starrer “DJ” must be happy now.
The losses that were incurred for “DJ” will be covered up with the success of “Fidaa”.
Sekhar Kammula, once darling of overseas audiences, has finally got his mojo back with this.
The film also gave huge boost to the career of Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi has become new hottest star.
