Bhairavam, featuring Manchu Manoj, Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas, and Nara Rohit, was released yesterday and received unexpectedly positive reviews. Despite being a remake of Garudan, director Vijay impressed with a Telugu touch and strong performances.

The film sold nearly 40,000 tickets on day one, collecting around ₹2 crore in the Telugu states and over ₹2.5 crore worldwide. In North America, it earned $38,000 from premieres, marking a career-best for the lead trio. With no major releases until June 12, Bhairavam is expected to continue its successful run and may achieve break-even soon.
