Summary
- Horror film 418 earned ₹10.22 crore net in its first week.
- The movie's box office collection significantly dropped after opening weekend.
- 418 ranks eighth among Telugu horror films released post-COVID.
The Telugu horror drama, 418, experienced a notable decline in box office momentum after a promising opening weekend. Presented by KGF producer Prashant Neel and directed by Kirtan Nadagouda, the film stars Chaithra J Achar, Surya Raj Veerabathini, and Charan Lakkaraju. It opened strongly, earning ₹2.65 crore on its first day and accumulating ₹7.65 crore over the weekend.
However, the film's performance faltered as the week progressed, with collections dropping below ₹1 crore on Monday and reaching ₹50 lakh by Thursday. After seven days, 418's net collection stood at ₹10.22 crore, translating to ₹12.06 crore gross in India. This places it eighth among the highest-grossing Telugu horror films released post-COVID.
The movie is set in a remote village's medical college, focusing on Room No. 418, which has been sealed for 15 years. Student Vivek Shankar's proximity to the forbidden room triggers terrifying supernatural events as he investigates its mysterious past.
