But, they have been a complete washout. Inauguration of Brahmastra and all have been first rate. If the content material was good and appreciated by all, it could have picked up on weekdays and retained the smaller display or second display within the second week. But, now it’s fully over.

There is a bent for the general efficiency of Brahmastra in South India. The movie is trying to exceed expectations whereas sustaining the money register on the field workplace in Telugu states. “The film is doing very well in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This would make a distributor’s share up to Rs 35 crore, the gross would be around Rs 50. it is too big.
