Power Star Pavan kalyan's Jalsa creating wonders at Box office

With no competition in sight coupled by the movie’s craze and summer season, Jalsa’s doesn’t budge from the top spot at boxoffice. Reports from Sify from Chennai state that the movie which opened with 6 screens claimed the number two spot in the city.

Instead of getting similar gross and lower shares by having more theatres, the distributors reduced the screen count to get higher shares from each screen. The movie reached the 8-crore share mark in Nizam territory, 3.75 crores away from being the highest grosser in that circuit. In the second week in Utthara Andhra, the movie collected nearly 1 crore sharing, taking its two week total gross to 2.75 crore and share to 2.35 crores. The two weeks share in Guntur is 1.66 crores. The movie amassed a share of 1.52 crores for the second week in Krishna district. Inspite of mixed reviews, the movie had a very strong opening from the first weekend itself in the overseas territory.

After the success of the film Jalsa, the expectations for Pawan’s next project Puli has raised to such a level, that not just his fans but also among the general public. Puli which is directed by the young and dynamic SJ Soorya is produced by Singanamala Ramesh.
