Daaku Maharaaj Box Office Collection Day 1: Nandamuri Balakrishna Starrer Beats Ram Charan's Game Changer On Opening

Daaku Maharaaj Box Office Collection: The Nandamuri Balakrishna-Urvashi Rautela starrer hit the big screens on January 12. The movie created a heavy buzz online when makers unveiled the song Dabidi Dibidi. While the song received heavy criticism, the movie has turned out to be a mass entertainer. The box office numbers of the opening day have sprung a surprise for everyone.

Daaku Maharaaj registers a staggering opening

Daaku Maharaaj released on the same weekend as Ram Charan and Kiara Advani's Game Changer. Despite the competition from the industry bigwig, the Nandamuri Balakrishna-Urvashi Rautela starrer managed to register a strong opening. The following week remains crucial to assess the film's lifetime performance.

Daaku Maharaaj minted ₹25.35 crore at the domestic box office on day 1, as per Sacnilk. The staggering collection can be owing to the good word of mouth or the non-working day. The Bobby Deol starrer has managed to surpass Game Changer on its opening day. The Ram Charan starrer minted ₹15.9 crore on Sunday while the NBK film raked in almost double of the amount.
