After the debacle of Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, Nandamuri Balakrishna is all set to return to the big screen. His next, Dada, is scheduled to release in theaters during the Christmas vacation. The film has managed to generate awareness on the ground level, and as it gets closer to release, it is expected to garner more eyeballs. But will it be able to emerge as Balayya’s biggest opener at the Indian box office? Let’s discuss it below!

Dada is carrying less hype than expected

The upcoming Tollywood entertainer is set to release in theaters on December 24. Compared to Balakrishna’s recent releases, it is carrying comparatively less excitement among movie buffs, as of now. Yes, since it marks the reunion of director Gopichand Malineni and Balayya after Veera Simha Reddy, there’s some buzz, but it’s not up to the mark. The makers need to put their best foot forward from here in terms of promotional assets.

To suffer from a clash with Nagarjuna’s biggie

Besides less hype as of now, Dada has another major hurdle in front of it in the form of Nagarjuna’s King 100. Yes, it clashes with King 100, which will definitely impact its show count in the Telugu market and divide audience flow. As a result, the potential of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s biggie naturally declines.

Unlikely to score Nandamuri Balakrishna’s biggest opening in India

Considering the aforementioned factors, it seems that Dada won’t score a record opening for Nandamuri Balakrishna at the Indian box office. It is likely to hit the 20 crore net mark, but achieving his biggest opening by beating Veera Simha Reddy (33.6 crore) seems impossible for now. Even a spot in the top 3 looks tough.

Take a look at Nandamuri Balakrishna’s top openers in India (net):
  1. Veera Simha Reddy – 33.6 crores
  2. Akhanda 2 – 30.5 crores
  3. Daaku Maharaaj – 25.35 crores
  4. Akhanda – 21.2 crores
  5. Bhagavanth Kesari – 16.6 crores

More about the film

Dada also stars Manchu Manoj, Kajal Aggarwal, Samuthirakani, Sarath Kumar, and others in key roles. It is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas. The music is composed by Thaman S.
