The fate of a film depends entirely on the talk that gets generated after the morning show and matinee on release day. But some heroes pulls the crowds to the theatres irrespective of the talk just using their sheer stamina. Nandamuri Baalayya is one such hero.
Balakrishna's "Lion" has taken a good opening on the first of its release at Andhra Pradesh/Nizam box office. The film minted ₹5.5 crore share in AP/Nizam on its debut day and ensured that the film had a good start.
Lion has registered an average of 80 to 90 percent occupancy in theatres across the world. The film rights sold for 25 crores and it just needs to collect more than 30 crores to be termed as hit.
