Where the two Telugu releases stand
Venkatesh’s ‘Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 (AK 47)’ added ₹66 lakh in India on its 13th day, across 1,074 shows, according to Sacnilk. That takes its domestic net to ₹48.36 crore and India gross to ₹56.54 crore. With another ₹16.75 crore from overseas, the Anil Ravipudi-directed family comedy has crossed ₹73.29 crore worldwide.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s ‘Ranabaali’ is at a much later point in its run. After 27 days, the film has collected ₹80.82 crore worldwide, with ₹58.98 crore in India net, ₹68.47 crore India gross, and ₹12.35 crore from overseas.
The number that explains the tail
AK 47’s day-13 haul may look modest next to its opening, but it shows the film is still holding screens. It sold 68,276 tickets on Wednesday, taking its cumulative count to 35.59 lakh during the theatrical run. Split across 1,074 shows, that is roughly ₹6,100 per show.
Ranabaali tells a different story. It made ₹45.20 crore in the opening week, then ₹12.10 crore in the second, ₹1.62 crore in the third, and only about ₹6 lakh in the fourth through Day 27. Its position above ₹80 crore is now mostly a preservation game, not a growth story.
- AK 47, Day 13: ₹66 lakh India; worldwide ₹73.29 crore.
- Ranabaali, Day 27: ₹80.82 crore worldwide; week four adds about ₹6 lakh.
- Ticket counts: AK 47 sold 68,276 tickets on Day 13; 35.59 lakh cumulative.
Why holdover math matters to the trade
For exhibitors and distributors, the story is screen optimisation. A film that still sells 68,000 tickets on a weekday can justify keeping enough shows through the next weekend. A film down to single-digit lakhs in week four, by contrast, is one bad day from being replaced by a new release.
For content buyers and programmers, the numbers are a reminder of where value sits in a Telugu theatrical run: the opening week still does the heavy lifting. Ranabaali’s week one accounted for roughly 77% of its current India net. AK 47, with ₹16.75 crore from overseas, is drawing about 23% of its worldwide gross from international markets, a useful cushion for a mid-size family film.
The figures are estimates from public and industry sources and can change as studio data is updated. Still, the direction is the point: neither film is in breakout mode now. The decision is how long to keep them on screens.
