Box Office: 'Thandel', And 'Badass Ravikumar' Second Day Early Estimates
Hyderabad, February 8 - Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi's romantic action drama Thandel is proving to be a success story at the box office. The movie is creating a stir and living up to the pre-release hype with an excellent collection all over. ## Thandel delivered the career-best opening for Naga Chaitanya and on its second day, the movie has an excellent hold with a drop of just around 10% which is normal for a Telugu title. According to early estimates, the Chandoo Modenti's directorial earns in the range of 12-13 crores gross on Saturday. ## The fantastic second-day hold pushes the total collection of Thandel to 25+ crores gross domestically and the 3-day opening weekend can rise to 37-38+ crores gross which is a fantastic collection. The word of mouth is okay and the film is likely to do well during the weekdays which remains to be seen. ## Meanwhile, Himesh Reshmiyan's action comedy Badass Ravikumar is witnessing a drop on the second day after a good first-day collection of over 2.50 crores net. There were limited expectations for the movie to do well at the box office but the promos did generate some curiosity among the audience. ## The opening of the film was better than expected but the mixed word-of-mouth seems to be not helping its cause as early estimates suggest the collection to be in the range of 1.75-2 crores net on its second day, dropping around 30%. ## The first 2 days box office collection of the film is respectable considering the expectations from it but it needs to hold well in the coming days to score a decent lifetime total. ## Stay tuned...
