Megastar Chiranjeevi's Godfather collects Rs 38 cr worldwide on Day 1

Hyderabad: The much-awaited 'Godfather', starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara, and Satyadev in lead roles, hit the screens on Dasara and is doing exceptionally well at the box office. This mass political action entertainer, which has Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in a mighty role, is receiving a positive response from all corners.

The Telugu film, which is an official remake of the Malayalam blockbuster 'Lucifer', is winning the hearts of critics, fans, as well as the audiences. Director Mohan Raja is also winning appreciation for showing Chiranjeevi in a completely different character.

'Godfather' opened well at the box office collecting Rs. 38 crores worldwide gross on its first day. It's an enormous opening, considering its limited release in all areas and regular ticket prices.

The film is doing exceptional in mass circuits and the numbers are good in A centres as well. Of course, the Megastar's craze is not restricted to a particular class or zone.

'Godfather' will enjoy the long and extended weekend holidays (3 more days) and we can expect huge box office numbers during the Dasara holidays. Among the three films that released this week—'Godfather', 'The Ghost', and 'Swathimuthyam'—'Godfather' is seeing houseful theatres and amazing collections at the box office.

The film also stars Murali Sharma, Samuthirakhani, Sunil, Shafi, and many other actors in key roles.
