Two of the biggest stars of Indian Cinema – Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi, are currently entangled in an epic box office clash with their recently released high budget entertainers, Jailer and Bholaa Shankar. While Jailer released on August 10 to positive reviews, Bholaa Shankar opened largely to mixed reactions from critics and fans alike.
At the end of its 3-day first weekend in the Ceded and Uttarandhra regions, Bholaa Shankar is leading over Jailer in a few crucial areas. While Bholaa Shankar collected Rs 4 crore share in 3 days in Ceded, Jailer collected a share of Rs 2.70 crore in 4 days. However, Jailer has shifted to top gear in the Ceded region and ended up collecting Rs 80 lakh share in lieu of Bholaa Shankar’s Rs 70 lakh share on Sunday.
On the other hand, Bholaa Shankar collected Rs 2.70 crore share in the Uttarandhra region in 3 days, while Jailer amassed Rs 2.20 crore in 4 days. But again, like in Ceded, Jailer has gained the upper hand over Bholaa Shankar on Sunday even in Vizag. The Rajini-starrer collected a share of Rs 58 lakhs on Sunday, while Bholaa Shankar could only collect Rs 52 lakhs in Uttarandhra. Going by the current trends, Jailer will comfortably rule over Bholaa Shankar to clinch the I-day box office crown.
