Sita Ramam box office collection day 2: Dulquer Salmaan Mrunal Thakur’s movie takes a small hit

Dulquer Salmaan has slowly built an image as a pan-Indian star, with considerable fan bases across the South Indian states. The Malayalam actor has once again ventured outside the borders of Kerala for a movie, titled Sita Ramam.The movie, which got off to a good start at the box office, faced a small dip on second day. 

According to an Amar Ujala report, Sita Ramam made Rs. 4.50 crore on its second day (Saturday). The movie reportedly opened with a respectable collection of Rs. 5.25 crore according to multiple reports. The movie has received mixed reactions from the fans following its release and this could explain the reason for the small dip that it has faced. Despite this, the movie could end the first weekend with a solid collection. 

“Sita Ramam strives too hard to be a classic, focusing mostly on the visual aesthetic and compromises on the storytelling. Dulquer may have gotten away with the shaky Telugu accent in Mahanati, though it’s evident now that he needs to put more effort into his dialogue delivery,” read the movie’s review on OTTplay. 

Sita Ramam is a love story set in the 70s and Dulquer plays an army man in the movie. Apart from Dulquer, the movie also marks the Telugu debut of Mrunal Thakur, who was recently seen in the Hindi remake of Jersey starring Shahid Kapoor. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sumanth, and Bhumika Chawla in important roles. 

Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and backed by Vyjayanthi Movies and Swapna Cinema, the movie has music composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar. The period romantic flick is now playing in theatres around the country.
