Blame it on the massive Independence Day clash, but Ravi Teja’s Mr Bachchan, which is a remake of Ajay Devgn’s Hindi film Raid, failed to secure a double-digit opening and cross the 10 crore mark as the film released with seven other major releases on August 15.
Mr Bachchan Box Office Collection Day 1
On the opening day, Ravi Teja’s Telugu action thriller earned 5.25 crore at the box office. This opening day collection also includes the 1.80 crore paid-previews. Meanwhile, it earned 1.50 crore overseas, taking the worldwide collection to 7.50 crore.
The film grabbed a lot of headlines for Ravi Teja’s character being inspired by Mr Bachchan’s look. In fact, it also landed a controversy when CBFC suggested the film remove a poster of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha in the film and replace it with Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s poster.
While Ajay Devgn‘s film opened at 10.04 crore in India, Mr Bachchan earned almost half – 5.25 crore on the opening day. The Telugu remake opened with 47% lesser box office earnings.
