The much awaited film Daaku Maharaaj starring Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK) is storming at the box office and has reached a rare milestone, marking his fourth consecutive ₹100 crore film. This comes after the super success of Akhanda in 2021 and reiterates that NBK has well and truly cemented his box office credentials with a robust performance.

The total Indian box office gross of the movie has now reached ₹85 crore, courtesy of the second weekend collection of ₹14 crore. Worldwide gross has easily breached the ₹100 crore mark by adding USD 1.90 million or ₹16.50 crore of overseas earnings to its kitty, solidifying the status of NBK as one of the most bankable stars in Telugu cinema.

Day-Wise Box Office Collections in India

Daaku Maharaaj opens strong but trends downhill as compared to the holiday weekend; it opened on a high of ₹26.00 crore and crashed down on the second day, that is Monday at ₹14.50 crore:

Day	Gross
Sunday	₹26.00 crore
Monday	₹14.50 crore
Tuesday	₹13.00 crore
Wednesday	₹10.50 crore
Thursday	₹7.25 crore
Friday	₹4.75 crore
Saturday	₹4.50 crore
Sunday	₹4.75 crore
Total: ₹85.25 crore

Although the collection suffered post-holiday, the film collected well during the weekend and reflected its high standing amongst hardcore fans and even lighter viewership segments.

Territorial Breakup of Collections in India

It grossed ₹78.25 crores as part of the collection in the domestic markets of AP/TS, see territorial breakup below:

Territory	Gross
AP/TS	₹78.25 crore
Nizam	₹19.25 crore
Ceded	₹15.00 crore
Andhra	₹44.00 crore
Karnataka	₹5.75 crore
Rest of India	₹1.25 crore

Mixed Financial Results for Distributors

Whereas Daaku Maharaaj has been a commercial success overall, the financial returns for the distributors differ from place to place. In the case of Nizam and Ceded, distribution rights have come at a premium price. This has resulted in total losses for some distributors. The costs were, however broke even by coastal Andhra as the region enjoyed all high ticket prices.

The collections of the film in Nizam and Ceded territories are below par, and it could have easily meant that it does not cross ₹100 crore mark in Telugu states. Such a feat would be historic for NBK. Even so, it is going to close at ₹95-97 crore in AP/TS-a little behind what NBK earlier release Veera Simha Reddy had managed to. A Holiday Boost for Collections

The Sankranti holidays were a very important factor during the initial days of the movie, which raised the collections substantially. But with the Sankranti season coming to an end, collections plummeted to a great extent. Analysts feel that it would have taken a lot to reach the number it has already achieved without Sankranti.

NBK’s Winning Streak

Dakaamu Maharaaja has the current run of successful ventures at the box office – that comprises Akhanda, Veera Simha Reddy, and the latest addition: Bhagavanth Kesari. Also, crossing 100 crore WW, his recent film now joins the bandwagon of superstardom by adding consistent hits on the records for him.

Fans are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for NBK, who has always been the first to set the benchmark in Telugu cinema. As Daaku Maharaaj has passed the ₹100 crore mark, the actor will be seen working on more high-octane projects and thus continue to enthrall his audience.

Though it failed to meet with all expectations, the movie is proof of the star pull of NBK and the popularity he has from his fans. Global box office results confirm that this is one of the highest grossing films for the year.
