As expected, Mahesh Babu's Dookudu has romped home the biggest BO gross and share in its first week. Pegged at Rs. 50.07 cr. of gross (Rs. 35.01 is the share), the film's all-time huge record has become a non-pareil in the history of Telugu cinema. More over, very few South Indian films, other than those starring Rajinikanth, have managed to net this huge total in the first few days of their release.
A press release from the makers stated that the film has been setting new records in all the States where it was released on September 23. While the film has grossed the highest in hot Telugu cinema markets in Andhra Pradesh, bulldozing its way through the records earlier set by Magadheera, it has had a windfall of collections in the US market, and in the Indian States like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and others.
