Vijay Deverakonda’s much-awaited film Liger was released yesterday. The advance bookings of this Puri Jagannath directorial were phenomenal. Thus, the film witnessed a great start in many centres across the Telugu states as well as in other countries.
As per the trade reports, Liger collected a gross of Rs. 24.5 crores and a share of Rs. 13.35 crores on its first day. The early morning and morning shows were housefuls. Due to negative word of mouth, the collections dipped from the noon shows. Otherwise, the earnings would have been more.
Still, Liger became the highest opening day grosser for any tier-2 hero in Tollywood. This also happens to be Vijay’s highest opening day grosser. Liger collected a share of 4.20 crores in Nizam and 1.30 crores in Ceded. It earned more than half a million ($589,309) through its USA premieres and early Thursday shows.
Liger features Ananya Panday as the female lead. Ramya Krishna, Mike Tyson and Ronit Roy played other important roles in the movie.
