Thani Oruvan’s Telugu remake, Dhruva starring Ram Charan, Arvind Swamy and Rakul Preet in the leads has grossed around 90 crores worldwide, earning the verdict of an above average flick. It also turned out to be the 3rd highest grosser among the Telugu films of 2016 led by Janatha Garage and Sarrainodu.
The remake which got a good word of mouth and reviews had released with a low buzz during the exam season. Another factor that had affected it’s collections in the B and C centres was demonetisation.
Inspite of all the odds being against Dhruva, it still managed 90 crores and became Ram Charan’s second best outing after Magadheera, proving that Telugu Cinema can now experiment more comfortably.
