The real test for a film begins after the opening weekend, and Mega Prince Varun Tej’s Korean Kanakaraju passed that test with distinction. The film has recorded strong collections on Monday, particularly in Telangana region where the movie cashed in on the Bonalu holiday advantage. 70K+ tickets were sold on Monday across BookMyShow and District Apps together.

The film has already achieved breakeven in all areas and has now entered the profit-sharing phase. That is a significant achievement for the team, particularly so early in the theatrical run. The strong Monday performance has only strengthened the belief that Korean Kanakaraju has found sustained acceptance among moviegoers.

The film’s humorous and entertaining treatment is helping it big time, while positive word-of-mouth is keeping the momentum alive during the crucial weekdays. The repeat-value factor could work strongly in favour of Korean Kanakaraju. The overseas numbers are also very optimistic. Korean Kanakaraju has crossed the $500K milestone in the USA.

The celebrations are set to get even bigger today, with Megastar Chiranjeevi gracing the success event. His participation is expected to generate additional publicity and keep the film in the spotlight. At a time when Korean Kanakaraju is already showing strong weekday momentum, the added buzz surrounding Chiranjeevi’s presence could further encourage audiences to head to theatres.

With breakeven achieved everywhere, profits already flowing and the Monday trend looking healthy, Korean Kanakaraju has all the signs of an entertainer that could stay in theatres for a considerable period.
