Anupama's film crashes at box office
17 Oct
Summary
- Anupama's Crazy Kalyanam earned only 20 lakh on its opening day.
- The film faces stiff competition from multiple releases.
- This marks Anupama's third consecutive box office failure this year.
Crazy Kalyanam, starring Anupama Parameswaran and Tharun Bhascker, has experienced a significant box office disappointment on its opening day, October 16. The film managed to earn a mere 20 lakh net in India, indicating a very weak reception. Its release coincided with a busy festive weekend, facing direct competition from 'Ranabaali' and the highly anticipated Tamil film 'Jailer 2', which has been dominating screens across South India.
This opening is particularly concerning as it represents Anupama Parameswaran's third film release this year, following 'Lockdown' and 'Mareechika', both of which were box office failures. Her previous Telugu film, 'Mareechika', had opened with 16 lakh. For Tharun Bhascker, known for directing films like 'Pelli Choopulu', this opening day collection matches that of his earlier film 'Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi'.
The box office performance places Crazy Kalyanam among the lowest openings for a Tollywood film in 2026, falling short of recent releases like 'Thella Kaagitham' and 'Band Melam'. Produced by Boosam Jagan Mohan Reddy and directed by Badrappa Gajula, the film's current trajectory suggests a challenging run ahead.
