Box office: 'Dasara' loses grip; collections likely to dip further

Natural Star Nani has been a bankable star in Telugu films. His latest release Dasara was in the buzz even before release and opened to impressive numbers. However, its collections have been disappointing this week, and the buzz is seemingly not helping this critically-acclaimed film. It has performed well in the international market. In the domestic market, it is pitted against Ravi Teja's Ravanasura.

According to the industry tracker Sacnilk, the Srikanth Odela directorial raked in Rs. 50 lakh (early estimates) on Thursday. Overall, the film minted Rs. 77.33 crore in the domestic market. Meanwhile, the Nani starrer crossed the Rs. 110 crore mark worldwide recently. The cast also includes Keerthy Suresh, Dheekshith Shetty, Shine Tom Chacko, and Shamna Kasim, among others. It is bankrolled by Sudhakar Cherukuri.
