Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja's Mass Jathara is opened allover with premiers, marking the directorial debut of Bhanu Bhogavarapu. The film stars Sreeleela as the female lead and is expected to be a mass entertainer.
As per trade reports, Mass Jathara needs to collect around ₹20 crore worldwide share to achieve hit status, with ₹15 crore distributor share required in the Telugu states to reach the safe zone.
Despite facing stiff competition from Baahubali: The Epic, Ravi Teja's strong mass appeal ensures that Mass Jathara can't be underestimated at the box office. The film's pre-release business is around ₹18 crore, with ₹5 crore from Nizam, ₹7 crore from Andhra, ₹2.5 crore from Ceeded, and ₹3.5 crore from ROI and ROW combined.
The film is expected to perform well if it garners positive word of mouth. With Ravi Teja's stardom and fanbase, Mass Jathara is an easy target, cutting across families, ladies, youth, and masses. The film's success is crucial for Ravi Teja, given his recent failures at the box office.
