Double iSmart Box Office Collection Day 1: Ram Pothineni’s & Sanjay Dutt’s Sequel Earns 40% Less Than iSmart Shankar, Still Enters Top 5 Telugu Openers!

Ram Pothineni took a brave decision to battle almost 7 biggies on Independence Day with his film Double iSmart at the box office. And the opening collection of this sci-fi action thriller proves that this was a good decision. Marking the debut of Sanjay Dutt in Tollywood, the film managed to enter the top 5 biggest Tollywood openers of 2024.

Double iSmart Box Office Collection Day 1

On the opening day, Puri Jagannadh’s science fiction film collected around 7.35 crore at the box office. This is one of the biggest openings of Telugu Cinema this year. Meanwhile, it earned 2 crore overseas, taking the worldwide collection to 10.35 crore.

However, Double iSmart, which is a sequel to the 2019 film iSmart Shankar, could not beat the opening of the first film of the franchise. A possible reason could be the Independence Day clash, but decent word of mouth assures a better weekend on the cards!
