With Rs 12.60 crore in worldwide gross collections after two days, the film has recovered roughly one-third of its reported budget in gross theatrical earnings.Therefore, while the film's collections can be described as steady, they are not particularly strong considering its reported budget. The near-flat Day 2 performance also suggests that the film needs a significant boost on Sunday and during the weekdays to move closer to the break-even mark.Korean Kanakaraju StoryThe story follows Kanakaraju, played by Varun Tej, a happy-go-lucky youngster from an Anantapur village who falls for a girl, played by Ritika Nayak, who works at the Kia manufacturing plant in Penukonda.
