The Mass Maharaja has officially reclaimed his box office throne! Ravi Teja’s latest emotional family drama, Irumudi, has successfully completed its first week at the ticket windows, delivering some of the most consistent weekday numbers seen in Telugu cinema this year.
Directed by Shiva Nirvana, the film—which showcases a completely different, deeply devoted side of Ravi Teja—has resonated heavily with family audiences. By the end of its first week (Day 7), Irumudi has nearly touched the highly coveted Rs 125 crore mark globally.
However, the film’s dream run is about to face its toughest hurdle yet. With Yash’s highly anticipated pan-India monster, Toxic, taking the theaters by storm, Irumudi is experiencing a massive reduction in its screen count. Here is the complete Box Office breakdown!
Day 7 Box Office: Inches Away from Rs 125 Crore Worldwide
Despite the typical mid-week slowdown, Irumudi maintained a respectable grip on Wednesday and Thursday. Driven by repeat family audiences in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana circuits, the film saw minimal drops across single screens.
According to trade estimates, the film collected an additional Rs 2.10 crore to Rs 2.30 crore globally on Day 7. This steady weekday performance has pushed the film’s Worldwide Gross Collection to a stellar Rs 124.85 Crore.
Domestically, the film’s India Net collection is currently hovering around the Rs 88 crore mark, and it is fully expected to cross the Rs 100 crore net domestic milestone during its second weekend.
The Toxic Takeover: A Massive Loss of Screens
While the makers of Irumudi are celebrating a highly profitable first week, a massive theatrical hurricane has arrived.
As of this morning, Yash’s pan-India gangster drama, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, has officially released across 12,000 screens globally. Due to the unprecedented advance booking demand for Toxic, multiplex chains and single-screen owners across the Telugu states have ruthlessly reallocated their prime shows.
Trade sources confirm that Irumudi has lost over 65% of its screens heading into its second week.
- Multiplex Impact: Irumudi has been completely pulled from prime evening and night slots in major multiplexes in Hyderabad and Vizag, retaining only morning or late afternoon shows.
- The Family Audience Strategy: Despite the screen loss, exhibitors are hoping that Toxic‘s ‘A’ (Adults Only) certification will drive family audiences—who cannot watch the violent Yash-starrer with children—back to the emotionally grounded Irumudi during the weekend.
Music and Emotional Resonance Keep Word-of-Mouth Alive
A primary catalyst behind Irumudi’s exceptional weekday hold has been the soulful musical score composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab, paired with Shiva Nirvana’s sensitive writing. Instead of relying solely on standard action set-pieces, the film derives its strength from the tender, grounded dynamic between a devoted father and his young daughter. Tracks celebrating spiritual devotion and family bonds have generated massive organic traction across Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, creating strong positive word-of-mouth. This sustained digital momentum has driven continuous family walk-ins and high occupancy rates in the morning and matinee shows, cushioning the blow of prime-time screen reductions.
Can Ravi Teja’s emotional magic survive the Toxic wave? The second-weekend numbers will reveal the ultimate verdict!
