Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridhyam), featuring Siddharth Gupta, Sanskruti Jayana, and Sushmitha Bhat in pivotal roles, has registered a respectable opening at the box office. The mythological fantasy drama earned around Rs. 1 crore on its first official day, after already collecting nearly Rs. 40 lakh through paid preview shows. With this, the film’s total opening haul stands at Rs. 1.40 crore, including previews.
Helmed by Hardik Gajjar, the film now needs to witness substantial growth over the weekend and maintain steady momentum from Monday onward to emerge as a strong performer at the ticket windows. Considering it does not feature a major mainstream star, the initial response can be termed encouraging.
Trade expectations suggest that Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridhyam) could wrap up its opening weekend with collections close to Rs. 5 crore. The film has the potential to surprise at the box office if positive word-of-mouth continues to spread among audiences in the coming days.
