Mass Jathara box office collection day 2: Bhanu Bogavarapu’s debut film, Mass Jathara, starring Ravi Teja and Sreeleela, was released in theatres on November 1, with paid premieres a day earlier. The film, which clashed with SS Rajamouli’s re-release Baahubali: The Epic, seems to bear the brunt of it. While it seems to be performing better than Ravi’s previous film, Mr Bachchan, Mass Jathara still struggles to find its footing.

Mass Jathara box office collection

Trade website Sacnilk reported that Mass Jathara collected an estimated ₹2.9 crore from its premiere on Friday. After collecting approximately ₹3.75 crore and ₹3 crore on Saturday and Sunday, the film has made around ₹9.65 crore net in India.

The number seems marginally better compared to Mr Bachchan, which collected ₹6.35 crore in two days, including premieres. However, Mass Jathara has been massively overshadowed and struggles to catch up to Baahubali: The Epic, which, despite being a re-release, has made ₹18.05 crore net in India in two days, including premieres.

Given the lukewarm response Mass Jathara received upon its release, it remains to be seen how it fares during the week, and if it continues to trail behind Baahubali: The Epic.
