Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridayam), starring Siddharth Gupta, Sanskruti Jayana, Sushmitha Bhat, and Nivaashiyni Krishnan, added Rs. 1 crore to the tally on its second Wednesday, taking the total cume to Rs. 20.60 crore nett at the Indian box office. It is looking to close this week, around Rs. 21.50 crore or so.
The mythological fantasy drama needs to show miraculous spikes in the third week in order to reach a respectable total. The movie was expected to see an exponential growth like Mahavatar Narsimha and Laalo Krishna Sada Sahayate, but it hasn’t happened yet. Still, there is some hope.
The movie has a relatively high budget, which is not justified by its current box office trends. However, such mythological films are very hard to predict. There was Laalo Krishna Sada Sahayate, which did nothing for over a month and then exploded like a new sensation. There was Mahavatar Narsimha, an animated film based on two of the avatars of Lord Vishnu. That film opened to Rs. 1.25 crore nett on the first day, saw exponential growth over the weekend to Rs. 3.25 crore nett on Saturday and Rs. 6.25 crore nett on Sunday. It eventually went on to collect Rs. 170 crore nett in Hindi. It will be interesting to see whether the Siddharth Gupta starrer can surprise in the coming weeks or not.
