Nandamuri Balakrishna’s latest movie Ruler is going to be a huge disaster at the box office. Balakrishna has no reprieve with this film too. It is known that he already have two big disasters this year with NTR Kathanayakudu and Mahanayakudu. Successful Jai Simha combo Nandamuri Balakrishna and KS Ravi Kumar couldn’t deliver a decent film. Though the critics lashed out this film, Balayya’s mass image has brought in decent collections on Day 1. However, the film failed to sustain with bad talk spread all over.
On day 2, Ruler has collected a dismal 1 Crore share which left the distributors in shock. Third day, Sunday is no different. Another 1 Crore has been added to the tally. Ruler collections will dip further down from today with today and tomorrow being working days and from December 25th, two films are releasing.
Ruler has done a business of around 21.5 Crores from Telugu states and not even 50 percent of the business has been brought back. With the collections being very low already it is evident that distributors are going lose in large numbers with Ruler.
