Ram scored a blockbuster with his previous film Ismart Shankar and got back to winning ways. He pinned high hopes on Red, which happens to be the remake of super hit Tamil film Thadam.
However, Red failed to strike a chord with the audience and the public verdict is that the film has dull and boring screenplay, which is a big no-no for a suspense thriller.
Regardless of the word of mouth, the film had a field day at the box office on its opening day. The Sankranti release seems to have worked in Red’s favor. The Ram starrer collected Rs 5.42 crores share on day 1, which is one of the career-best opening day figures for Ram.
Here’s the breakdown of Red’s opening day collections:
Nizam: Rs 2.02 crores
Ceeded: Rs 1.08 crores
Uttharandhra: Rs 49 lakhs
East Godavari: Rs 36 lakhs
West Godavari: Rs 46 lakhs
Guntur: Rs 42 lakhs
Krishna: Rs 31.5 lakhs
Nellore: Rs Rs 27.5 lakhs
Total opening day collections: 5.42 crores.
