Nene Raju Nene Mantri box office: Rana Daggubati’s film make Rs 30 crore in the first week

Rana Daggubati is having a golden run at the box office. His first film after Baahubali 2 has been declared a hit after minting Rs 30 crores in its first week.

Actor Rana Daggubati couldn’t have asked for a better follow up to Baahubali, as his latest release Nene Raju Nene Mantri has struck big at the box-office. Setting the cash registers on fire, the film has grossed over Rs 30 crore in its first week in cinemas and has already recovered its cost from Telugu states alone. According to trade pundits, the film earned a share of over Rs 17 crore from its first week and thanks to its low production cost, has already entered the profit zone. It’s the biggest non-Baahubali first week grosser for Rana, who is thrilled with the numbers.

The film had a three way box-office battle with Jaya Janaki Nayaka and Lie. If you’re wondering how it managed to do well at the ticket window, despite the stiff competition, the logic is simple and if applied to other projects it’ll work wonders. The film was made on a low cost and Rana’s father is one of the producers. It is rumoured that the Baahubali star didn’t take his remuneration and chose to release the film through his home banner, taking sole responsibility of success and failure. Luckily, the trade paid off handsomely for Rana.
