Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s Irumudi roared at the box office, dethroning many records. The emotional drama is the most-watched Telugu film of the year, surpassing biggies like Peddi and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.
In its lifetime, the movie earned Rs. 250 crores gross worldwide, as per the latest update. Nothing significant might be added to the overall collections from here on, with the film already arriving on Netflix. Also, The Paradise is releasing this Thursday, and hence these numbers are considered final.
Irumudi is a case study for the industry on how to draw audiences to theatres in huge volume with reasonable ticket prices and good content. Even with multiple releases, the Ravi Teja starrer continued to dominate the marketplace week after week.
The film is a smash hit on Netflix too, where it has been trending at the top spot since its launch. The movie’s success across theatrical and OTT platforms underlines the reach of emotionally rooted storytelling.
Directed by Shiva Nirvana, the movie stars Baby Nakshatra, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Sai Kumar, Ramesh Indira, and Swasika in vital roles. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Irumudi features music by GV Prakash Kumar.
