As per Track Tollywood’s report, Rangasthalam has hit the 1 crore mark (in Indian currency) at the Japanese box office. This is an impressive feat already, and with ongoing extraordinary word-of-mouth, the film is expected to enjoy a long theatrical run and could even surprise us by leaving the KGF series behind.
Meanwhile, Rangasthalam was released in Japan on 14th July and netted 2.5 million yen from 70 screens on the opening day. It is also learnt that the film will be allotted more screens in the coming days.
