'Entha Manchivaadavuraa', starring Nandamuri Kalyanram and Mehreen Pirzada in the lead, released yesterday amid stiff competition from 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' and 'Sarileru Neekevvaru'. Despite the cut-throat competition, the family drama raked in something like Rs 4 Cr (gross) in the Telugu States.

In terms of share, the Satish Vegesna directorial made Rs 2.15 Cr. The collections in the US are not encouraging.

Also starring familiar faces such as Vennela Kishore, Tanikella Bharani, Suhasini Maniratnam, Rajeev Kanakala, and others, the film is a remake of the Gujarati movie 'Oxygen'. Its real test starts from today, given that world of mouth is crucial when its two big competitors are going strong.
