Dharma Productions’ venture Liger, featuring South sensation Vijay Deverakonda and youth icon Ananya Panday released this week to widespread promotion. In the international market it opened on Wednesday, to positive reviews from viewers. A sports drama laced with intense action and Mike Tyson as a key figure, the film has opened strongly in North America where collections have crossed half–a–million dollars on opening day.
Liger has already gained immense success at the North American box office on its opening day, amassing a total of USD 505,115 [Rs. 4.03 cr.] by collecting USD 482,339 [Rs. 3.85 cr.] in the U.S and USD 22,776 [Rs. 18.19 lakhs] from Canada alone! This impressive feat has brought about great optimism for the overall prospects of the film as it progresses further in its run.
Liger has been met with both favorable and unfavorable reviews, yet continues to draw crowds in theaters. Due to a lack of competing movies, Liger is likely to see its returns grow significantly, at home and abroad. Predictions by the film industry have projected that this picture could result in highly profitable box office numbers.
