Saakshyam had a poor first week at the Boxoffice collecting just 10.6cr Share Worldwide in its first 7 days.
The movie had a below average first weekend and needed strong weekdays to put up a decent first week total. However, the Sriwass directorial totally went down on Monday owing to the poor WOM.
It has turned out to be a disappointment both at the Local Boxoffice and even Overseas market where there was good hope owing to the content. The opening is well below Bellamkonda Srinivas’ previous outing ‘Jaya Janaki Nayaka’ which collected 14cr.
Saakshyam did a pre-release business of around 25cr Worldwide(WW) and the opening week means that the movie will end up as a Disaster at the Boxoffice.
Saakshyam First Week Collections – Worldwide(WW) Boxoffice:
| AREA | SHARE(in Cr) |
| Total AP/TG | 9.27 |
| Karnataka | 0.81 |
| USA | 0.21 |
| Rest | 0.35 |
| Total Worldwide(WW) | 10.64 |
*Saakshyam First Week Collections(WW) – 10.64 cr
*Needs 25cr+ WW Share to Break Even, DISASTER
The concept of the movie was well received by the audience but the direction has received a lot of flak. Bellamkonda Srinivas’ will still have to wait for his first HIT.
Saakshyam stars Bellamkonda Srinivas and Pooja Hegde in lead roles and is being directed by Sriwass. Shakthikanth Karthick will be composing the music with Abhishek Nama producing on Abhishek Pictures banner.
