Epic-First Semester Box Office (Closing Collection): Anand Deverakonda’s Film Wraps Up As A Losing Affair, Suffers Deficit Of 48%

Anand Deverakonda’s film Epic-First Semester was released in theaters amid much hype. In fact, Anand’s older brother Vijay Deverakonda even moved the release of his upcoming film Rana Baali so that Epic would get a solo release. The film was certified A by the censor board. While the hype gave the film a decent opening, it could not maintain the momentum.
