Ravi Teja film Irumudi sees strong global box office opening
The film ‘Irumudi’, directed by Shiva Nirvana and starring Ravi Teja, has released globally, marking a significant departure from the actor’s typical high-energy ‘Mass Maharaja’ persona. The movie is a family emotional drama blended with crime elements, centered on a father-daughter relationship and the spiritual journey of Ayyappa Deeksha.
Early box office reports indicate strong performance, particularly in overseas markets. Pre-sales in North America exceeded $225,000, contributing to a total overseas pre-sale figure of approximately $375,000. In the Telugu states, ticket demand has been described as phenomenal, with exhibitors adding extra shows to meet capacity issues.
Critical and audience reactions have highlighted Ravi Teja’s restrained and emotional performance as a major strength. While some viewers noted a slower pace in the first half, the film’s core themes of personal transformation, devotion, and social messages have garnered positive attention. Director Shiva Nirvana and lead actress Priya Bhavani Shankar have both expressed satisfaction with the project’s emotional depth.
