Mass Jathara, a Telugu action flick directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu and starring Ravi Teja, kicked off strong at the box office.
The film follows Teja as Railway Police Officer Lakshman Bheri battling a drug lord in the fictional town of Adavivaram.
Alongside him are Sreeleela, Naveen Chandra, Rajendra Prasad, and Naresh.
While critics gave mixed reviews—praising Teja's energy but calling the plot routine—fans showed up in big numbers.
'Mass Jathara' in numbers
The movie pulled in an impressive ₹6.65 crore on its first day (₹2.9 crore from previews and ₹3.75 crore from ticket sales), outdoing Teja's recent releases Mr. Bachchan (₹5.3 crore) and Eagle (₹6.2 crore).
Mass Jathara registered an overall 27.71% occupancy across Telugu states, peaking at 33.57% during night shows.
