Daaku Maharaaj is turning out to be a losing affair at the worldwide box office. Despite a solid start, the film failed to cover the desired distance as Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam severely impacted it. Amid an underwhelming run, there’s something to cheer about: The film has surpassed Bhagavanth Kesari’s lifetime collection to become Nandamuri Balakrishna’s third highest-grosser of all-time.

Directed by Bobby Kolli, the Tollywood period action drama was released theatrically on January 12. It opened to mixed reviews from critics, but the feedback was mostly favorable among the ticket-buying audience. Still, it failed to keep the momentum intact after a superb start. It’s clear now that during the Sankranti season, Sankranthiki Vasthunam stole the thunder from other releases, and there was no second choice among audiences.
As per the latest collection update, Daaku Maharaaj has amassed an estimated 83.53 crore net at the Indian box office. Including taxes, the gross domestic total stands at 98.56 crores. Overseas, too, the film has underperformed, and so far, it has earned around 17.50 crore gross. Combining the Indian and overseas gross, the 12-day total at the worldwide box office stands at 116.06 crore gross.
