Venkatesh-starrer Telugu family thriller 'Drishyam', has minted Rs 5.23 crore in the opening weekend in Andhra Pradesh. This film is the eponymous remake of a Malayalam blockbuster by the same name.
It's a slow but steady start for the film, believes trade analyst Trinath.
"The film opened to very low numbers but gradually picked up on the second day and has been steady at the box-office since then. It has collected about Rs 5.23 crore in its opening weekend in the state," said Trinath.
