The Telugu box office has a new talking point this week as Vishwanath and Sons continues its run in theatres, backed by strong ticket sales and a pre-release business package that had already made it one of the most closely watched releases of the year.

Day 1 Collection Breakdown

The film’s opening day set the tone, with Day 1 bringing in ₹14.32 Cr gross in India, while the worldwide gross for Day 1 stood at ₹33 Cr, reflecting a healthy contribution from overseas markets alongside domestic ticket sales.

Day 2 has added a further ₹9.66 Cr to the tally (figures still updating as the day progresses), pushing the total tracked India gross for the two days to ₹23.99 Cr.

Overseas markets have also chipped in a healthy share, with the film grossing a total of ₹14.00 Cr in overseas collections, contributing significantly to the Day 1 worldwide figure.

Day 1 India Gross

Day 1 ₹14.32 Cr
Day 2 (so far) ₹9.66 Cr
Total (2 Days) ₹23.99 Cr

(Day 1 worldwide gross: ₹33 Cr including Overseas gross: ₹14.00 Cr)

BookMyShow Ticket Sales

On the ticketing front, BookMyShow has recorded 866K tickets sold across Day 1, Day 2, and advance bookings combined — a number that underlines the film’s pull at the multiplexes even before final collections for Day 2 are locked in.

The Pre-Release Business That Set Expectations

Part of the reason Vishwanath and Sons walked into release with such high visibility is the business it did before a single ticket was sold. Here’s how the numbers stacked up:

Segment Amount
Reported Budget ₹130 Cr
Theatrical Rights ₹90 Cr
Digital Rights (Netflix) ₹85 Cr
Audio Rights ₹12 Cr
Satellite Rights ₹28 Cr
Total Pre-Release Business ₹215 Cr

With a reported budget of ₹130 Cr, the film had already recovered well beyond that figure through rights sales alone, giving the makers a comfortable cushion even before the theatrical numbers started rolling in.
