In North America, the film was able to cross the $1 million mark by the second day, making it the tenth Nani film to achieve such a feat.
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Faces Shocking Dip in Performance
Despite no competition on the big screen and fairly positive reviews by the critics, the film is currently underperforming which is a shock to the makers of the film. In an interview with ANI before the film’s release, Nani shared his excitement for his new films. He said, “I’ve done action films before, but within the action films, I really believe that there are different genres, and this one’s very different because this just doesn’t run on action blocks or just the story. But how the screenplay is done with it and also because of the lock of the story, a guy who cannot react or show his anger till Saturday and he has to face an evil guy and for a purpose, for a reason, he has to fight him but all he has is one day and the other guy has all the week.”
