Irumudi Box Office: How Much Does Ravi Teja Starrer Need To Become A Clean Hit?

By Shalmesh More

Irumudi, starring Ravi Teja, has registered an excellent start at the Indian box office, and with no major competition in the Telugu market, it is all set to have a blast in the crucial first few days. Backed by highly positive word of mouth right from day 1, the film is set to keep building through the opening weekend and beyond, positioning it as a genuine massive success for the actor. Keep reading for a detailed report!

What is the budget of Ravi Teja’s Irumudi?

The Telugu entertainer was reportedly made on a budget of 35 crore, making it a low-risk affair by the current standards of Telugu cinema. The biggest reason behind this controlled budget is a massive pay cut taken by Ravi Teja himself, driven by his string of back-to-back failures in recent years. He reportedly dropped his remuneration from 25 crore to just 8 crore for this film, a significant personal decision that has directly helped keep the overall budget in control and improved the film’s chances of a profitable run.

Recovers over 40% of the budget on the opening day

Against a budget of 35 crore, Irumudi needs to earn 35 crore net at the Indian box office to enter the safe zone. On day 1 alone, the film has already recovered 42.28% of that cost, earning a solid 14.8 crore net. At this pace, full budget recovery looks very much achievable within the opening weekend itself, which is a rare feat for a Telugu film in present times.
