Khaidi No 150 got a huge head start with breaking records at the box offices worldwide. After the film's release on January 11, the film raked in a whopping Rs 50 crore worldwide. It also became the fastest grosser breaking the record of Baahubali. While Khaidi No 150 minted close to Rs 30 crore in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh alone, the movie grossed over Rs 9 crore collecting $1.5 million at the US box office, which is five times what Balakrishna's Satakarni made in that country.
On the other hand, Balakrishna's film Gautamiputra Satakarni started with a poor show and earned just $0.3 million at the US box office. The domestic numbers are not yet out. However, the collections turned out to be a career best for Balakrishna.
Khaidi No 150 released a day ahead of Gautamiputra Satkarni , on January 11. The film had an early tap on the festive mood of the audience too. Khaidi No 150 is the 150th film of Chiranjeevi, which is a remake of Tamil blockbuster and Vijay-starrer Kaththi that was released in 2015.
Gautamiputra Satkarni was touted to be made on a very important and unique subject that raised the bar for the film ahead of its release on January 12. The Balakrishna-starrer is based on the Satavahana warrior king of 2nd century CE. He was said to be a major figure in the Telugu history. Directed by National Award-winning director Krish, GPSK got a lot of support from both the governments and it got Entertainment Tax exempted.
