The Telugu film Nari Nari Naduma Murari has made a quiet but impressive start at the box office. Its performance on the second day has surprised many industry observers with a sharp upward trend.
Strong Box Office Numbers
According to industry reports, the film collected more than Rs 2 crores in its first two days of release. The day-wise breakdown shows a remarkable growth pattern.
On its opening day, Nari Nari Naduma Murari earned approximately Rs 70 lakhs in India net collections. The real surprise came on the second day when collections jumped dramatically to Rs 2.1 crore.
This represents a growth of nearly 200 percent in just twenty-four hours. The total collection after two days now stands at Rs 2.8 crore India net.
Occupancy Tells the Story
The film's strong performance is reflected in its theater occupancy rates. On Thursday, the film recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of 57.27 percent.
The occupancy pattern throughout the day shows how word-of-mouth helped the film gain momentum:
- Morning shows started at 21.17 percent
- Afternoon shows saw a significant rise to 62.13 percent
- Evening shows performed even better at 73.00 percent
- Night shows maintained strength at 72.79 percent
Positive Audience Response
Directed by Ram Abbaraju, the film features Sharwanand, Samyuktha Menon, Sakshi Vaidya, and Sree Vishnu in key roles.
Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. One viewer expressed their satisfaction by saying, "Nari Nari Naduma Murari is one of those movies you finish watching and then happily discuss with your family on the way home, instead of feeling embarrassed by awkward scenes or cheap jokes."
Another comment highlighted the film's family appeal: "Perfect family entertainment for this Pongal festival. Servand did a great job with this movie."
The film appears to have found its audience through positive word-of-mouth, which explains the dramatic increase in collections from the first to the second day.
Industry experts note that such growth patterns are uncommon, especially for films that start with modest opening numbers. The strong evening and night show occupancies suggest that audiences are responding well to the film's content and messaging.
As the Pongal festival season continues, Nari Nari Naduma Murari seems well-positioned to maintain its momentum at the box office. The film's performance demonstrates how quality content can overcome initial challenges and find success through audience appreciation.
