Valmiki aka Gaddalakonda Ganesh has taken a stunning opening at the box office. It is not a surprise as the trade predicted the film to open on a strong note.

Given the mass appeal and rugged avatar of Varun Tej, the masala entertainer is bound to open big.

The film has collected around Rs. 5.5 Crore share on its day 1 in Telugu States, which can be termed as super sensational.

Gaddalakonda Ganesh is set for a solid first weekend as the word of mouth is decent. It is bad news for Gang Leader that is struggling to achieve breakeven status.

Valmiki getting good reports means there are less chances for Gang Leader to pick up over the weekend.

Gang Leader collections drastically dropped post first weekend and its buyers are staring at losses in many areas.

Suriya’s Bandobast that released along with Valmiki got a shockingly low opening all over. It is by far the weakest opening among Suriya’s films. It couldn’t even get Rs. 1 Crore share in Telugu States on its first day.

Weak reports will make its situation even worse in the coming days.
