Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Box Office

The Sunday numbers added the biggest boost yet, pushing the film’s overall three-day India net total past the ₹23 crore mark, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. The strong weekend performance has been largely driven by family audiences and increasing occupancy across key regions.

On its third day, the film collected an estimated ₹10.10 crore net in India. This reflects a healthy 32% jump compared to Saturday’s ₹7.65 crore, showing clear growth in footfall over the weekend.

Occupancy levels also saw a notable rise, climbing from 44.6% on Saturday to 52.4% on Sunday across 2,965 shows nationwide. The steady increase suggests improving word-of-mouth as the weekend progressed. With this, the total India net collection stands at ₹23.10 crore, while the gross domestic total has reached ₹26.69 crore.
