‘Kushi’ takes Telugu box-office by storm; Vijay Deverakonda-Samantha-starrer collects Rs 25 cr in two days

In Telugu, the word ‘Kushi’ means ‘happiness’.

This Shiva Nirvana film has also turned into a big source of happiness for its leads Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

The movie which hit the theatres on September 1, has proved to be a box-office darling.


The romantic drama has earned a whopping Rs 15 crore on day one and Rs 10 crore on day two. This makes the movie’s two-day collection an impressive Rs 25 crore, as per a report by the Indian box-office tracking portal Sacnilk.com.

The romantic film enjoyed an impressive 59.13 occupancy in Telugu-speaking territories on Friday.

The movie also marks Deverakonda’s first hit in five years. The movie also marks Prabhu’s triumphant return as the queen bee of the Telugu box-office. The ‘Yashoda’ star’s previous film, ‘Shakuntalam’ was a resounding flop at the box-office.

Yesterday ( September 1), Deverakonda thanked the audience for showing an enthusiastic response to the film. “You all waited for 5 years, with me. Patiently waiting for me to do my thing! We did it. Today!! :) Waking up to this happiness from all around and my phone to hundreds of messages. I cannot help but tear up with emotions. I love you all,” he wrote on Twitter.
