RRR’s advance booking – Looking at the current situation

by 123telugu March 24, 2022

RRR is India’s biggest film to date and is being awaited with bated breath as it is directed by Rajamouli and has NTR, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgan in key roles. Everyone wants to watch the film and the advanced bookings have been great. Let’s look at the current situation of bookings across its areas of release.

AP-Nizam

As RRR is a straight Telugu film, the advanced bookings in Telugu states are excellent. Tickets are being sold out like hotcakes and most of the shows over the weekend have been sold out in both Nizam and AP. The trade is also expecting record numbers on day one seeing the current state of bookings in Telugu states.

Hindi market

Rajamouli is a big name in Indian cinema and that was proved with the massive collections of Baahubali 2. Naturally, the expectations were huge for RRR. But sadly, the advance bookings are quite poor. The booking is happening on a dull note in various regions of north India. As per the trade, the film will take a normal start at the box office tomorrow. RRR needs a blockbuster talk for the bookings to grow over the weekend.

Malayalam and Tamil

NTR and Ram Charan are big stars in the south but when it comes to the advanced bookings, the situation is just about okay and the tickets are being sold on a slow and steady note. But the bookings in Chennai are solid and the trade is expecting a record number for a Telugu film in the city.

Karnataka

The advanced bookings in the state of Karnataka are also solid. As the pre-release event was held in Karnataka, there is a good buzz that has been created. But the general complaint in the state is that more Telugu shows are being aired than the Kannada version. With the good mouth talk, extra shows in Kannada will also be added.

US Market

From day one, the buzz for RRR has been great in the US. The advanced bookings for the premiere shows in Telugu have already crossed 2.5 million which is a record in itself. But the bookings for Hindi and other languages are quite poor. Once the mouth talk grows, the collections will surely grow over the weekend.

All in all, the fate of RRR will depend on the mouth talk that the film will get on the first day. If the film meets all expectations, then there will be no looking back for Rajamouli and his team.

Mahesh replies all the characters in Mahabharatha are important and he can’t pick one. Jr NTR then replies Mahesh would look good in Lord Krishna avatar.

Speaking about family, Mahesh says he enjoys every bit of fatherhood. Jr NTR then says he feels bad for not having a daughter as both his kids are boys. Mahesh jokingly says you(NTR) can have one if you want.

Mahesh says he really enjoys listening to the songs from ‘Okkadu’ album. Mahesh adds that he enjoys watching cricket. “I really used to play cricket a lot during my childhood. But I am unable to do so now, given the schedule.” To which, Jr NTR replied “You are working with Rajamouli soon right, he will make you play all sorts of games on sets(in a funny tone). He will not give up till he extracts the very best of us. But at the end of the day, the output he generates is worth our hard work. It is a rewarding experience working with him(Rajamouli).”

Mahesh said Jr NTR is doing an exquisite job as the host of the show. “I feel comfortable when you are around. You(Jr NTR) are the only reason why I attended this game show.”

Mahesh adds that he likes to go on at least three foreign trips with his family every year. “These trips help strengthen the bond between us and our kids.”

About Sarkaru Vaari Paata, Mahesh says “This film has Pokiri flavour. The script is an entertaining one. It has been a while since I played a full-on energetic and entertaining character. Sarkaru Vaari Paata will be full of energy and excitement.”
