Ram Pothineni's Skanda Day One BO Report - Highest in Ram's career

Ram Pothineni's mass and action-packed film, "Skanda," directed by Boyapati Sreenu, has made a powerful start at the box office in the Telugu states on its opening day, despite receiving mixed reviews. The film has managed to achieve record-breaking collections, particularly in mass-centric areas.

"Skanda" has raked in an impressive Rs 8.62 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (AP and TS), marking it the highest day-one grosser in Ram's career. The team did not expect a big number but is currently happy with the reception.

Here is the regional breakdown of the collections:

- Nizam: Rs 3.23 crore

- Ceded: Rs 1.22 crore

- Vizag: Rs 1.19 crore

- East: Rs 0.59 crore

- West: Rs 0.41 crore

- Krishna: Rs 0.45 crore

- Guntur: Rs 1.04 crore

- Nellore: Rs 0.49 crore

In the absence of another major release in the box office competition, "Skanda" is poised to have a successful run, at least during its initial week. It's worth noting that the film had already recouped its investment through non-theatrical deals before its theatrical release.

Sreeleela played the film's leading lady, and Srikanth is seen in a crucial role. Thaman is the film's music director.
