Mahesh Babu’s Murari 4K has surprised everyone with its fantastic performance during the opening weekend.

Initially, Mahesh Babu’s fans were dicey about the choice of the film re-releasing on his 50th birthday as Murari isn’t a regular mass entertainer. Usually, on the occasion of a birthday, fans love to celebrate larger-than-life commercial potboilers on the big screen. So, the decision to arrange special shows for his 2001 film wasn’t well received by the fans. However, it left everyone surprised by the kind of reception it enjoyed over the weekend.
On the opening day, Murari 4K clocked the biggest-ever opening among Telugu re-releases by amassing 5.41 crores gross at the worldwide box office. It surpassed the previous record holder, Businessman (5.20 crores). On the next day, the film witnessed a drop of 64.69% and earned 1.91 crores gross. Again, on Sunday, there was a drop of 48.16% as 0.99 crore came in. At the end of the first weekend, a collection of 8.31 crores gross came in at the worldwide box office.
