Filmy wrap: Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' a dud, Chiyaan Vikram's 'Cobra' witnesses 'lowest' 1st Friday of 2022

Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday's recently released film 'Liger' was one of the much-hyped and anticipated films. But the film turned out to be a dud at the box-office.

'Liger' has received negative reactions from the critics and audience. Directed by film-maker Puri Jagannadh, the film released in five languages across India on August 25 and was able to earn Rs 33 crore on its opening day at the box-office, according to a report in India Today.

However, the sports drama could only manage to rope in Rs 1 crore on its Day 9, as per reports.


Meanwhile, Chiyaan Vikram's 'Cobra', which hit theatres across India on August 31, didn't have an impressive start at the box-office either.

The film, directed by Ajay Gnanmutha, witnessed a disappointing opening at the box-office and could not even cross the Rs 1 crore mark. As per media reports, the film has earned around Rs 26.30 crore approximately since its release.

Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan on Friday said that the film had a 'dull' day at the box-office and witnessed lowest first week Friday of 2022.


The film, which is Vikram's first release in three years, also stars Srinidhi Shetty, Meenakshi Govindarajan, Mirnalini Ravi, KS Ravikumar and Roshan Mathew in key roles.
