“Krishnamma“, directed by VV Gopalakrishna and produced by Krishna Kommalapati under the banner of Arunachala Creations, is a film conceived from Koratala Siva‘s narrative with Satyadev in the lead role. The storyline, inspired by the tragic 2007 murder of a minor girl named Ayesha, unfolds against this backdrop. Despite receiving average reviews upon its release on May 10, the film’s performance at the box office has been modest.
Let’s examine the first-day collections:
| Nizam | 0.08 cr |
| Seeded | 0.05 cr |
| Uttarandhra | 0.06 cr |
| East | 0.02 cr |
| West | 0.01 cr |
| Guntur | 0.02 cr |
| Krishna | 0.05 cr |
| Nellore | 0.02 cr |
| AP + Telangana (Total) | 0.31 cr |
| Rest of India | 0.01 cr |
| Overseas | 0.01 cr |
| World Wide (Total) | 0.33 cr (share) |
“Krishnamma” had set a break-even target of Rs.3.5 crores but managed only a Rs.0.33 crore share on its first day. To reach the break-even point, another Rs.3.17 crore share needs to be collected. A strong push over the weekend could help achieve this target. However, the film’s initial performance suggests a challenging journey ahead to meet its financial goals.
The success of “Krishnamma” hinges on robust box office performance in the coming days to offset the initial shortfall. The film’s reception and subsequent audience turnout will determine its viability and potential profitability.
Despite a slow start, concerted efforts during the weekend could pave the way for “Krishnamma” to reach its break-even milestone and perhaps even exceed expectations if momentum builds and word-of-mouth publicity improves.
