Bagheera, starring Sriimurali, faces challenges at the box office despite high expectations. Released on October 31, 2024, the film has had a slow start, and its fifth-day collection saw a decline. On Day 5, Bagheera earned ₹1.12 crore, down from its Day 4 earnings of ₹2.85 crore. With a total India net of ₹14.15 crore and a gross of ₹16.69 crore, the film needs a strong boost in collections to reach its ₹20 crore budget.
Bagheera Struggles to Break Even
The action-packed Kannada film, associated with KGF and Salaar producer Prashanth Neel, requires approximately ₹6 crore more to break even. Although it has covered 70% of its budget, the film has not met the expected performance, facing stiff competition from releases like Amaran, Lucky Bhaskar, and Bollywood hits Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
About the Film
Directed by Sr Suri, Bagheera features Sriimurali alongside Rukmini Vasanth, Prakash Raj, and Jagapathi Babu. The film’s music is composed by B Ajaneesh Loknath, adding depth to its intense superhero narrative. Whether the film will gain momentum with positive word-of-mouth remains to be seen.
