Khaleja, the 2010 film starring Mahesh Babu and directed by Trivikram Srinivas, has made a strong comeback in its re-release. The film received an overwhelming response from fans, with packed theaters and energetic celebrations. On its first day, Khaleja collected Rs 5.75 crore at the Indian box office. Overseas, it earned Rs 1 crore, bringing the total worldwide collection for Day 1 to Rs 6.75 crore. The film's re-release has been a huge success, with fans showing up in large numbers to watch the film on the big screen.
Khaleja 4K sets new re-release records in overseas markets, becoming the first-ever film to sell over 10,000 tickets in overseas markets, collect $100K in the USA, and collect ₹1 crore in overseas markets. The film's advance ticket sales were superb, and the day 1 collections also came out excellent. Although Khaleja did not perform well during its original release in 2010, it gradually gained popularity through television and digital platforms. The current re-release shows just how much the film’s fan base has grown over the years. This success highlights a rising trend in Tollywood, where re-released films are drawing larger crowds than some of the latest releases.
The film's success is a testament to Mahesh Babu's enduring popularity, and fans are eagerly waiting to see more of his films re-released. Khaleja will continue playing in several theaters across the Telugu states until next Friday, giving fans more chances to enjoy it once again on the big screen. Directed by Trivikram Srinivas, Khaleja tells the tale of a common man fighting corporate greed, and its unique storyline has resonated with audiences.
