Irumudi Box Office Collections: Ravi Teja Starrer Delivers A Phenomenal 2nd Monday, AP/TS Heads Towards Rs. 200 Crore
Irumudi continues its extraordinary run at the Telugu box office, recording a phenomenal second Monday and showing exceptional staying power across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Irumudi Box Office Collection: Ravi Teja’s Irumudi is showing remarkable legs at the Telugu box office. The film delivered a sensational second Monday, maintaining strong momentum even after completing more than a week in theatres.
The film is estimated to have grossed around Rs. 8 crore in India on its second Monday, with approximately Rs. 7.50 crore coming from the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The second Monday business was reportedly on par with the film’s Thursday collections from the previous week, underlining the exceptional hold and strong word of mouth that the Ravi Teja starrer continues to enjoy.
Irumudi Records A Sensational Second Monday
The second Monday is usually a crucial test of a film’s staying power, particularly after the first weekend and the following weekdays. Irumudi, however, has managed to maintain strong audience interest.
The film collected approximately Rs. 8 crore on its second Monday in India, including around Rs. 7.50 crore from AP/TS.
Such a strong second-Monday performance puts the film among the biggest Monday performers in the history of the Telugu states.
One Of The Biggest Second Mondays In Telugu States
Irumudi’s second Monday business is being tracked among the highest second-Monday collections recorded in the Telugu states, behind major blockbusters such as Baahubali 2 and RRR.
11-Day Collection Reaches Rs. 158.50 Crore
After eleven days in theatres, Irumudi has reached an estimated India gross of approximately Rs. 158.50 crore. The Telugu states remain the biggest contributor, accounting for around Rs. 142.25 crore.
With AP/TS already approaching the Rs. 150 crore milestone, the film is expected to cross that mark shortly before continuing its march towards the much bigger Rs. 200 crore milestone.
Janmashtami And Ganesh Chaturthi Holidays Could Boost The Run
The film’s strong momentum comes at an important time. The upcoming Janmashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi holiday period over the next two weeks could provide Irumudi with another opportunity to add substantial collections.
The film is also benefiting from the absence of significant competition in its theatrical window. The reported rejection of Toxic has effectively opened up additional space for Irumudi in the market.
Several centres where Irumudi had reportedly been removed on Wednesday following the release of Toxic have brought the film back on Monday, with the movie once again performing strongly.
Strong Word Of Mouth Turns Irumudi Into A Box Office Movement
One of the most notable aspects of Irumudi’s theatrical run has been its performance beyond the major urban centres. The film is reportedly attracting audiences strongly in smaller centres as well.
Unlike several recent big releases that have relied heavily on premium ticket pricing and ticket hikes, Irumudi’s collections are coming despite comparatively low ticket prices.
The combination of affordable ticket prices and positive word of mouth appears to have helped the film develop into a wider audience movement, allowing it to perform consistently across different market segments.
Telangana And Andhra Pradesh Both Showing Strong Performance
The film’s performance has been strong in both major Telugu states. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are each tracking towards the Rs. 100 crore gross mark, which would be a significant achievement for the film.
The strength of Irumudi in the districts is particularly noteworthy. In recent years, Hyderabad has become increasingly dominant within the Nizam circuit, accounting for a very large share of the region’s total collections.
Irumudi, however, is reportedly performing exceptionally well across the districts, suggesting that its appeal is extending beyond the Hyderabad urban market.
Irumudi Shows Exceptional Strength In Nizam Districts
The distribution of collections within the Nizam region is another interesting aspect of Irumudi’s run. Hyderabad has increasingly dominated the circuit in recent years, with the city sometimes accounting for 75–80 percent of the overall circuit collections.
This was considerably closer to a 50:50 split between Hyderabad and the districts during the early 2010s. The growth of Hyderabad as a major centre and steep increases in ticket prices have contributed to the erosion of the theatrical base in several Nizam districts.
Irumudi appears to be bucking that trend. The film is reportedly collecting strongly in the districts, raising the possibility that its district footfalls could eventually surpass those recorded by RRR in the Nizam region.
Irumudi India Box Office Territorial Breakdown
The estimated territorial distribution of Irumudi’s India gross after eleven days is as follows:
| Area | Gross |
|---|---|
| AP / TS | Rs. 142.25 Cr |
| Nizam | Rs. 69.50 Cr |
| Ceded | Rs. 18.50 Cr |
| Andhra | Rs. 54.25 Cr |
| Karnataka | Rs. 11.75 Cr |
| Rest of India | Rs. 4.50 Cr |
| INDIA TOTAL | Rs. 158.50 Cr |
Can Irumudi Cross Rs. 200 Crore In AP/TS?
Based on its current momentum, the Rs. 200 crore AP/TS gross milestone is increasingly looking achievable. The film is entering a favourable period with upcoming holidays, strong word of mouth and no major competitive pressure.
If the current trend continues, Irumudi could continue adding sizeable numbers well into its third week and beyond.
Irumudi’s Footfalls Could Be Another Major Story
Beyond gross collections, the film’s footfall numbers are also becoming an interesting metric to track. Since Irumudi has maintained relatively low ticket prices without significant hikes, its audience count could become one of the defining aspects of its theatrical run.
The film’s strong performance in smaller centres further strengthens the possibility of an impressive footfall total, particularly in the Nizam districts.
Irumudi Continues Its Extraordinary Telugu Box Office Run
Irumudi has emerged as one of the strongest performers of the current Telugu theatrical season. Its sensational second Monday, strong performance across both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and impressive district collections have given the film remarkable staying power.
With the AP/TS gross already at approximately Rs. 142.25 crore and the India total standing at around Rs. 158.50 crore after eleven days, the film is now firmly on course for the next major milestones.
The upcoming holiday period, positive word of mouth and limited competition could further strengthen the run. If the momentum remains intact, the Rs. 200 crore-plus AP/TS mark could become the next major achievement for Ravi Teja’s Irumudi.
