Epic Struggles at Box Office After ₹1.9 Crore Collection
Epic is a Telugu film starring Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya.
They had previously appeared together in the successful film Baby.
Because of that, many people expected Epic to attract young viewers.
However, the film’s earnings dropped on its second day.
It has collected about ₹1.90 crore so far, according to a trade source.
More than ₹10 crore is reportedly at stake in the Telugu states.
The holiday period may help the film bring more people to theatres.
Viewers and reviewers liked the actors’ performances and chemistry.
But some felt the second half was too long and the ending was uneven.
Epic’s collections reportedly fell on Day 2 to around ₹1.90 crore.
The film’s lead pairing of Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya was expected to attract youth audiences.
More than ₹10 crore is reportedly at stake in the Telugu states.
Holiday-period audience turnout could determine whether Epic improves its box-office position.
Reviews praised the leads’ performances and chemistry but criticized the stretched second half and uneven climax.
