Krishnavataram Part 1 Box Office: The Devotional Epic Earns 50 Lakh On Opening Day; Eyes Big Growth On Day 2

Mumbai, May 8 - The devotional epic Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart has opened to a modest start at the Indian box office, but the film is expected to witness significant growth over the weekend due to positive audience reactions and strong appeal among family audiences.

Directed by Hardik Gajjar, the film generated a decent buzz with its visually stunning trailer and true retelling of Lord Krishna's journey. The advance booking indicated a low start, as the movie has earned around fifty lakh gross on its opening day at the Indian box office.

While the start is on the lower side, considering the scale of the production, the makers and exhibitors remain optimistic because devotional and mythological films often gain momentum after word-of-mouth spreads among audiences, and this is happening with the film on the second day.

The positive response after the first day is clearly reflected in the second day footfalls, as the film is looking to score more than 100% growth. In fact, it is trending on BookMyShow with hourly ticket sales topping 1K+, which is a clear indication of word of mouth doing its thing.

Krishnavataram Part 1 explores the journey of Lord Krishna from Dwarka to Kurukshetra while blending themes of devotion, destiny, and sacrifice. Mounted on a grand scale, the movie is planned as the first instalment in a trilogy and has been released in multiple languages to target a wider audience base.
