Hyderabad:The first day box office collection of Family Star is a cause for concern, as the romantic drama starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur had a slow start in ticket sales. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 5.75 crore nett across India on its opening day. This opening figure is notably lower compared to Vijay's recent films, marking one of his weakest starts in recent years.
Before its release, box office projections by Ormax Media had estimated that Family Star would earn around Rs 10.5 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. However, the film fell short of expectations, achieving only half of the projected earnings. The movie is also facing strong competition from Siddu Jonnalagadda's comedy drama Tillu Square, which is expected to surpass the Rs 100 crore mark globally.
Vijay Deverakonda's previous releases like Kushi, Liger, Dear Comrade, and World Famous Lover all had significantly higher opening numbers, often reaching double digits. Have a look at how these films performed in its opening day at the box office.
- Kushi - Rs 15.25 crore
- Liger - Rs 15.95 crore
- Dear Comrade - Rs 11.90 crore
- World Famous Lover - Rs 7 crore
