Mirai box office collection day 2: Teja Sajja’s fantasy drama Mirai released on September 12 to mixed reviews. However, the film is on a roll at the box office.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the Karthik Gattamneni directorial opened at the box office with Rs 13 crore. The film registered an impressive 11.54% growth on its second day, earning Rs 14.5 crore. With this, its two-day total in India stands at Rs 27.5 crore.
On Saturday, Mirai performed best in its home market, recording an overall 71.57% Telugu occupancy in theatres, with morning shows at 62.97%, afternoon shows at 80.93%, evening shows at 70.81%, and night shows at 70.81%. The highest occupancy was observed in the Mahbubnagar region. In the Hindi market, the film registered an overall occupancy of 18.92%.
Teja Sajja’s previous blockbuster HanuMan collected Rs 8.05 crore on Day 1 and Rs 12.45 crore on Day 2. In the following days, the film showed substantial growth at the box office.
Produced by People Media Factory, Mirai also features Ritika Nayak, Manoj Manchu, Jagapathi Babu, Shriya Saran, and Jayaram in pivotal roles.
An excerpt from SCREEN’s review of Mirai read, “Karthik Gattamneni, co-writing the script with Manibabu Karanam, positions the film as a spunkier reimagination of the devotional epic that once held a formidable place for itself at the box office. His vision is extracted emphatically from the vibrancy of Hindu Mythology, but with the sensibility and energy of a modern Hollywood superhero blockbuster. The film is, at its core, about visual dazzle, and its merits solely stem from the fact that the grandeur has been achieved on what appears to be a mid-sized budget.”
