The 4K re-release of Khaleja earned a strong $57,677 on its opening day from 105 locations in North America.
This makes it the third-best opening day for Telugu film re-releases, just behind Indra 4K ($65K) and Gabbar Singh 4K ($60K).
What’s surprising is that despite the Trump administration’s strict ban on off-campus jobs for students, the film’s collections stayed strong.
Usually, students are a big part of Telugu film audiences in the USA, so it’s unclear how they are still supporting these films so well.
This success shows that fans of Telugu cinema remain excited about old classic movies, even with new challenges.
It also proves that re-releasing popular films in better quality can still draw good crowds and good money and it is proved again.
