Release Date: October 31, 2024
The highly awaited Telugu film Lucky Baskhar is set to release on October 31, 2024 coinciding with the Diwali holiday. Directed by Venky Atluri and starring Dulquer Salmaan, the movie has built significant pre-release buzz. Produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinema and Srikara Studios, the film is set in the 1980s and dives into the mysterious journey of a banker, Baskhar played by Dulquer Salmaan.
Budget, Regional Sales and Box Office Targets
The production budget for Lucky Baskhar stands at ₹30 crore. In the Telugu states, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, theatrical rights were sold for ₹15 crore, means the movie must collect at least ₹30 crore in these states alone to break even. To achieve overall hit status, it’s estimated that the film would need to gross a minimum of ₹60 crore across all regions.
Day 1 Box Office Collection Prediction
With high anticipation surrounding its Diwali release, Lucky Baskhar is expected to open strong. Dulquer Salmaan’s fanbase across South India, particularly in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, will likely contribute to a solid opening. Early estimates suggest that the movie could collect between ₹10-12 crore on Day 1 worldwide. The film’s pre-release premiers have added to the positive buzz, raising expectations for a successful start.
Total Box Office Collection Prediction
The film benefits from a long weekend and minimal competition from other releases in its genre. While there are other big-budget films scheduled, Lucky Baskhar’s content-driven appeal and Dulquer Salmaan’s popularity could help it maintain strong numbers. Given its expected performance in the Telugu states and Dulquer’s draw in other markets, Lucky Baskhar could cross the ₹60 crore mark, potentially reaching ₹100 crore if it receives positive reviews and word-of-mouth support.
Final Verdict
If Lucky Baskhar performs as expected in Telugu states and beyond, it is likely to achieve hit status, potentially crossing ₹60 crore and perhaps moving towards the ₹100 crore mark, making it one of the most notable releases of the Diwali season.
