Chennai Love Story crosses ₹50 crore gross worldwide for Kiran Abbavaram
Faces competition from new releases DC and Korean Kanakaraju
Bonalu holiday in Telangana offers a key box office opportunity
Trade circles expect strong collections over the next two days
Kiran Abbavaram's latest film, Chennai Love Story, has already made a mark at the box office by crossing the ₹50 crore gross milestone worldwide. Directed by Murali Kishore and featuring Gouri Priya as the female lead, the romantic drama has become a notable hit for the actor, who continues to build his reputation with youthful entertainers.
As the film enters a decisive weekend, it faces fresh competition from new releases DC and Korean Kanakaraju, both of which are drawing crowds across the Telugu states. Despite these challenges, trade analysts believe Chennai Love Story retains an edge, particularly among families and younger audiences who have responded positively to its narrative and performances.
The timing could not be better for the film, as Sunday is expected to see increased footfalls and Monday is a Bonalu holiday in Telangana, potentially boosting collections further. According to trade circles, "the film has one more golden opportunity to add sizeable collections" during this window. The next two days are set to play a pivotal role in determining how much higher Chennai Love Story can climb in terms of box office numbers.
With strong word-of-mouth and continued interest from its core audience, Chennai Love Story is poised to make the most of this festive period before new releases take over more screens.
