Mass Jathara Box Office Forecast: Will It Struggle Against Baahubali?
Mass Jathara box office expectations: Competition with Baahubali The Epic poses a challenge.
Telugu cinema star Ravi Teja is making a comeback this weekend with Mass Jathara, which is seen as a crucial film for him. Given his recent box office struggles, this release is essential for revitalizing his career. However, initial trends suggest that Mass Jathara has a tough road ahead to escape a disappointing performance.
Advance Bookings for Mass Jathara
Directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, Mass Jathara aims to leverage Ravi Teja’s popularity. While strong box office collections were expected, reports indicate that advance bookings are sluggish. As of Friday at 1 PM, the film’s advance ticket sales reached ₹61 lakh, not yet hitting the anticipated ₹1 crore mark. This limited performance may be tied to the film’s Friday evening release and its reduced number of screenings.
Box Office Predictions for Mass Jathara
With an evening release, Mass Jathara faces a challenging opening day. Most cinemas can only accommodate 2 to 3 shows instead of the typical 5 for major releases. Analysts estimate that the film might earn between ₹2-3 crore net on its opening day—lower than Ravi Teja’s previous film, Mr Bachchan, which grossed ₹3.45 crore on its debut last year. Considering Mr Bachchan’s overall performance, which resulted in ₹13 crore, these figures signal concerning trends for Mass Jathara.
Experts suggest withholding judgment on Mass Jathara until after Saturday. The film’s potential could become clearer with more showtimes in theaters across the Telugu states. However, it also contends with the re-released Baahubali: The Epic, which has been smashing records.
