Nagabandham Takes Early Lead Over Rao Bahadur in 24-Hour Ticket Sales

Virat Karrna’s latest venture, Nagabandham, has set the Tollywood box office abuzz by clinching the top spot in opening day ticket sales, outshining Satya Dev’s Rao Bahadur. Both films hit theatres this Friday, sparking excitement among moviegoers eager to witness the clash between the grand mythological spectacle and the intense psychological drama.

Nagabandham, directed by Abhishek Nama and mounted on a lavish ₹100 crore budget, drew significant crowds, registering a robust 68,000 tickets sold in just 24 hours on BookMyShow. In contrast, Rao Bahadur, helmed by Venkatesh Maha and featuring Satya Dev in a compelling lead role, managed to sell 37,000 tickets during the same period. While Nagabandham's big-screen grandeur attracted audiences in droves, early reports indicate that Rao Bahadur has garnered stronger critical appreciation.

Social media circles have been lively with fans debating which film will sustain its momentum through the weekend. According to sources, "Rao Bahadur has comparatively better reports, and it remains to be seen how both films perform over the weekend." The contrasting genres and audience reactions have only heightened the intrigue around their box office journey.

With the weekend ahead, all eyes are on whether Nagabandham can maintain its strong start or if positive word-of-mouth will help Rao Bahadur close the gap. The coming days promise an engaging showdown at the Tollywood ticket counters.
