Varun Tej’s KOKA Achieves Rare Box Office Feat
Varun Tej’s latest film, Korean Kanakaraju (KOKA), has made a striking impact at the box office, quickly entering the profit zone across nearly all regions within just three days of release. This impressive performance highlights Varun Tej’s strong audience pull, following his recent successes in Telugu cinema.
The film, described as a complete entertainer, has drawn widespread appreciation from viewers of all age groups. According to reports, KOKA reached breakeven status in many territories by the end of its second day, and is on track to be declared a clean hit by the third day. The surge in demand is evident, with over 500,000 tickets sold in the first two days alone through various ticketing platforms.
To accommodate the overwhelming response, the makers have increased the number of shows and expanded to additional theatres. The third day’s advance bookings have even surpassed those of the second day, underlining the film’s growing momentum. Industry sources note that it is rare for a Telugu film to achieve profitability so swiftly after release.
KOKA’s strong box office run is expected to continue, especially in Telangana where a statewide holiday on Monday is likely to boost collections further. The film’s ability to bring audiences back to theatres has been highlighted as a significant achievement for the industry.
