The Telugu romantic drama 'Andhra King Taluka', starring Ram Pothineni, is demonstrating a stable run at the box office in its first week. The film, which opened strongly, has managed to hold its ground through the weekdays, with its seventh-day collection being a key indicator of its sustained audience interest.
Steady Box Office Numbers in Week One
According to data from trade analyst Sacnilk, the film has crossed a significant milestone. On its seventh day in theaters, which was Wednesday, 'Andhra King Taluka' added over ₹75 lakh to its total. This consistent earning has propelled the film's overall domestic collection to an impressive ₹17.70 crore.
The day-wise breakdown of the collections is as follows:
- Thursday (Day 1): ₹4.15 crore
- Friday (Day 2): ₹3.10 crore
- Saturday (Day 3): ₹3.65 crore
- Sunday (Day 4): ₹3.70 crore
- Monday (Day 5): ₹1.30 crore
- Tuesday (Day 6): ₹1.05 crore
- Wednesday (Day 7): ₹75 lakh
The pattern shows a robust opening weekend followed by the expected dip on weekdays, with the film stabilizing its earnings by the middle of the week.
Theatre Occupancy Remains Consistent
Supporting the box office figures is the film's theatre occupancy data. On its seventh day, December 3, 2025, the movie recorded an overall Telugu occupancy rate of 11.44%. The turnout was remarkably even across different show timings throughout the day.
The detailed occupancy for Wednesday was:
- Morning Shows: 11.04%
- Afternoon Shows: 11.82%
- Evening Shows: 11.82%
- Night Shows: 11.08%
This consistency suggests a steady stream of viewers choosing to watch the film at various times, rather than a reliance on peak hours alone.
About the Film and Its Story
'Andhra King Taluka' is directed by Mahesh Babu P and is centered around a unique fan-idol relationship. Ram Pothineni plays Sagar, a deeply devoted fan whose life revolves around his idol, Andhra King Surya Kumar, portrayed by Upendra.
The narrative, set in the 1990s, begins with Surya Kumar facing financial hurdles that threaten the completion of his 100th film. The crisis is unexpectedly resolved when a mysterious deposit of ₹3 crore arrives from his biggest fan, Sagar. This act of devotion leads Surya Kumar to seek out the source of the funds, sparking a profound and life-changing bond between the superstar and his admirer.
The film also features Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead, with a strong supporting cast including Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, and Rahul Ramakrishna. The film's performance in its first week sets the stage for its crucial second weekend, which will be decisive for its long-term box office trajectory.
