Diwali Telugu releases Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Bhaskar and Kiran Abbavaram’s KA clashed, both premiering on Wednesday, which means they had a five-day first week.
Lucky Bhaskar collected $685,106 by the end of its first weekend. The performance is not impressive considering the reviews and ratings the film has received. However, the good news is that the film picked up well since Saturday, and Sunday was strong, indicating a good second week ahead. There are no new releases that could hurt Bhaskar in the second week.

The good news for both films is that there are no new releases this week, so both should have a decent hold in their second week.
