The upbeat momentum of the Telugu romantic comedy Tillu Square continues as it kicks off its third week with a bang. Grossing approximately Rs 2 crore on its third Friday, the film’s total earnings have now soared to an impressive Rs 86.50 crore, marking only a modest 30% decline from the previous Friday’s figures. Despite facing stiff competition from Mrunal Thakur and Vijay Deverakonda’s Family Star, the film has maintained its stronghold, particularly evident in its robust performance during the second week.
With the third weekend projected to bring in at least Rs 8 crore, the film is inching closer to this illustrious goal, poised to enter the coveted Rs 100 crore club. This achievement holds significant significance, especially considering the film’s lack of star power, relying instead on its compelling narrative, which has garnered widespread acclaim.
Breaking down its box office journey, Tillu Square has found its strongest resonance in urban centres, particularly in the bustling Nizam region, anchored by the vibrant city of Hyderabad. Surpassing the Rs. 40 crore mark in Nizam alone, the film stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the industry’s biggest hits. Impressively, its appeal extends beyond Telugu-speaking territories, with Karnataka contributing over Rs 8 crore to its box office haul.
- Week 1 – Rs 62.50 crore
- Week 2 – Rs 22 crore
- 3rd Friday – Rs 2 crore
- Total = Rs 86.50 crore
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the film’s box office performance across various regions:
- Andhra Pradesh/Telangana: Rs 75.50 crore
- Nizam: Rs 40.00 crore
- Ceeded: Rs 7.50 crore
- Andhra: Rs 28.00 crore
