Despite opening to positive reviews, the box office report might disappoint fans. Andhra Box Office report says the film starring Balakrishna, Vidya Balan and Rana Daggubati has poor opening. The tweet read, "Poor Openings for #NTRMahanayakudu even though no early morning shows have been screened!" However, the exact collection figures are awaited.
