Samantha Ruth Prabhu's 'Maa Inti Bangaaram' Hits $2 Million in North America, Near $100 Crore Global Gross
The Telugu action‑comedy 'Maa Inti Bangaaram' starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu has crossed the $2 million mark in North America, making it the second‑highest‑grossing female‑led Telugu film in the region after Mahanati. The film, produced on an estimated budget of about Rs 20 crore, has already recovered roughly four times its cost, with worldwide earnings close to Rs 90‑95 crore and a projected entry into the Rs 100 crore club.
Domestic collections total around Rs 56 crore net (approximately Rs 65 crore gross), while overseas markets have contributed about Rs 25 crore, led by the strong performance in the United States. The success has sparked renewed interest in mid‑range Telugu productions, prompting producers to seek higher theatrical‑right prices for upcoming titles.
By surpassing the lifetime earnings of Anushka Shetty’s Arundhati, the film has set a new benchmark for female‑led Telugu cinema and highlighted Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s box‑office draw both in India and among the diaspora.
