Srikanth had a decent debut at the box office. Despite little pre-release buzz and lower expectations, the film collected a decent ₹2.4 crore net (approx) on Friday, which is a pleasant surprise. This is a solid opening and the film can perform well over the weekend if it shows a positive trend on Saturday and Sunday. Initial reviews from both audiences and critics are positive, suggesting the film can pick up steam through positive word-of-mouth.
Srikanth registered a 15% occupancy on Day 1, despite releasing on a good number of screens. Analysts are hoping for a significant jump of 40-50% or even higher on Saturday. Solid growth over the weekend could push the first-weekend total close to the ₹10 crore net mark. It could even surpass that, but a significant increase in collections on Saturday is crucial. Let’s see how things unfold on Day 2 (Saturday).
