Ghaati struggles at the box office

Anushka Shetty starrer Ghaati is struggling at the box office after opening in the theatres with modest numbers. The Telugu-language action crime drama film, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, hit the theatres on Friday, September 5.

According to a trade website, Ghaati earned Rs 1.03 crore for all languages on Sunday.

The film’s total now stands at Rs 4.77 crore net in India. The film registered 20.41% Telugu occupancy on its third day of release with 15.72% morning, 24.66% afternoon, 24.05% evening and 17.22% night shows.

The film opened in the theatres with 2 crore net in India. The film witnessed a dip in the box office collection since the second day only and earned Rs 1.74 crore net in India.

Ghaati is facing stiff competition with Madharaasi, as it collected Rs 13 crore on Day 1. Additionally, the film registered the lowest collection than Anushka Shetty's last release, Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty (2023), which earned approximately Rs 4 crore net on Day 1.

The film is produced by Yeduguru Rajeev Reddy and Saibabu Jagarlamudi under First Frame Entertainments, and presented by UV Creations. The film also stars Vikram Prabhu, Chaitanya Rao Madadi, and Jagapathi Babu in the key roles.

The film revolves around an empowered woman who gets entangled with the weed trade due to circumstances. Desperate times lead a resilient woman down a life-threatening path as she becomes entangled in the high-stakes world of the cannabis trade.

An excerpt of Moneycontrol Ghaati review reads, “Ghaati has a lived-in feel because of its rough landscapes, unpolished textures, and unprocessed images. However, the pacing is erratic; the first act drags before the second half picks up speed. Without overpowering the realism, Krish's deft use of mythological symbolism—comparing Sheelavathi's ascent to Maa Sita destroying Ravana's Lanka—adds depth.”
