‘Bougainvillea’ day 1 box office collections: Amal Neerad’s directorial nearly matches ‘Bheeshma Parvam’ opening collections
Amal Neerad’s latest film, ‘Bougainvillea’, has started strong despite mixed reviews. It collected Rs 3.25 crores on its opening day, nearly matching the director’s previous success, ‘Bheeshma Parvam’. While it had lower occupancy on day one, critics appreciate Neerad’s slow-paced storytelling and the incredible performances, especially by Jyothirmayi. ETimes rated it 3.5 out of 5, noting both its predictability and the commendable restraint in its portrayal of graphic scenes. Released on October 17, the film offers a compelling watch.
