Comrade Kalyan Earns ₹8.15 Crore Net in India in Its First Three Days

Comrade Kalyan, a Telugu comedy starring Sree Vishnu and Mahima Nambiar, earned ₹8.15 crore net in India during its first three days.

Its third-day collection was ₹3.05 crore, following ₹2.1 crore on opening day and ₹3 crore on day two.

The film’s three-day total is higher than the reported lifetime net collection of another Telugu comedy, Romanchakam, which earned ₹6.98 crore in India.

Comrade Kalyan is based on true events from the 1990s, presented with a comic spin.

Its story is set in a Naxal-dominated village on the Andhra-Odisha border, where a theatre owner joins the Naxals and kidnaps a leader.

The film has received mixed reviews, despite its strong opening numbers.

It will need to keep attracting audiences during the week to extend its box-office run.
