Anushka Shetty's 'Ghaati' Battles Mixed Reviews, Steady Box Office

Anushka Shetty's latest action film 'Ghaati' has been running in theaters with a steady pace since its release, though it has received mixed reviews on social media. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film collected ₹1.03 crore on Sunday, completing its first weekend with a total of ₹4.77 crore domestically.

On its opening day, 'Ghaati' managed to register a collection of ₹2 crore across India. The film saw a slight dip on the second day, earning ₹1.74 crore, marking a 13% decline from its first day. By Sunday, the film's earnings dropped further, collecting ₹1.03 crore as per early estimates.

While the numbers are decent, the talk around 'Ghaati' has been mixed. Early reviews on social media reflect a divided opinion, with one user calling the second half of the movie "good" but mentioning issues in other areas. However, Anushka Shetty, who is lovingly called "Sweety" by fans, has been receiving praise for her strong screen presence, with her performance being seen as one of the strong points of the film.

The film is set in the Eastern Ghats, which lie on the Andhra-Odisha border, and follows a marginalized tribal group called Ghaatis who are working as laborers and transporters as they are involved in a cannabis smuggling operation. Anushka Shetty plays the role of Sheelavathi, a bus conductor from the Ghaati community, who gets entangled in the dangerous underworld of the cannabis trade.
