Mass Jathara Day 1 Box Office: Ravi Teja’s Weak Start

Ravi Teja’s much-awaited 75th film, Mass Jathara, had a slow beginning at the box office. Directed by Bhanu Bogavarapu, this action-packed entertainer managed to earn just around ₹2 crore (India net) on its opening day, according to reports from Sacnilk.com. The numbers have fallen short of expectations from both fans and trade analysts.

Produced with a budget of nearly ₹30 crore, the film’s first-day performance is significantly lower compared to Ravi Teja’s previous release Mr. Bachchan, which had an opening collection of ₹5.3 crore. Despite being marketed as a grand celebration for Ravi Teja’s milestone 75th project, the film’s start has been far from festive in terms of revenue.

Audience and Critical Response

Reactions from audiences and online reviewers have been largely mixed, leaning toward the negative. Some viewers described Mass Jathara as “a one-time watch” and called it an “average commercial flick.” Many pointed out that the story and song placements follow an outdated “old basti” formula that lacks freshness.

A section of the audience commented that filmmakers are focusing more on fan service than strong storytelling, calling Mass Jathara a “blend of several old-style mass films” without much narrative strength. However, a few reviews praised Ravi Teja’s energetic performance, saying that while his screen presence remains strong, the film needed a more powerful script to match his milestone moment.

Others criticized the outdated presentation and weak comedy tracks, noting that despite Ravi Teja’s charm, the film struggles to emotionally connect with viewers.

With such a modest opening, the film’s future now depends heavily on its weekend performance and word-of-mouth publicity. If audience feedback doesn’t improve, Mass Jathara risks being remembered as a missed opportunity in Ravi Teja’s otherwise impressive career.
