Saripodhaa Sanivaaram had a good start at the box office on its release day, with a gross of around Rs. 25 crores. This is Nani’s second biggest opener after the blockbuster Dasara. The film is off to a flying start in North America, which is Nani’s strong zone. Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is also the second biggest premiere grosser for Nani, with about $547K.

On its first day (excluding premieres), the movie registered more than $317K, which is the highest for a Nani starrer in North America. The movie will reach the one-million-dollar mark today, thereby becoming the 10th million-dollar film for Natural Star. Monday is a public holiday in America, and the action drama is set to register some stunning numbers cashing in on the long weekend advantage.

The movie will easily go past two million dollars, but we need to see if it can reach three million dollars in the long run. Thalapathy Vijay’s The GOAT is scheduled for release on September 5th, and its result will play a key role in determining Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’s final collections. Vivek Athreya directed this masala entertainer and SJ Suryah played the antagonist.
