Bharat Ane Nenu which released amid huge buzz on Friday has performed very well over its first weekend both in India and Overseas.
The movie collected around 59cr Worldwide in the first 3 days and is among the All-time Top 5 openers in Tollywood. The numbers in the Telugu states are very good with some areas creating a Non-Baahubali record.
With Rangasthalam still going strong in the Telugu states, Bharat Ane Nenu had a tough fight but it has managed to keep the competition aside, as far as opening is concerned.
Overseas have also performed very well, USA and AUS in particular where it has created Non-Baahubali records.
The Word of Mouth(WOM) is excellent similar to that of Rangasthalam and that should help the movie put up strongholds on weekdays and then possibly jump once again in the 2nd weekend.
