Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 earns ₹34.8 crore in four days

Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47, starring Venkatesh, Srinidhi Shetty and Nara Rohith, collected ₹3.4 crore net at the Indian box office on its first Monday, day 4. The Telugu action-comedy drama has now earned ₹34.8 crore net in four days, which is ₹41.06 crore gross.

Monday drop

The film opened on Friday with ₹9.75 crore net. Its Monday figure is a fall of 65.12 per cent from that day. The film had earned ₹10.4 crore on day 2 and ₹11.25 crore on day 3, a Sunday, so the sharp drop came right after its best day. Reviews and word of mouth have been mixed, which had led trade watchers to expect a steep fall on Monday, the first working day after the weekend.

The Monday figure is the second-lowest first Monday for Venkatesh since the pandemic. It is just above Saindhav, which earned ₹3 crore on its first Monday. Venkatesh's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan earned ₹10.71 crore on its first Monday, and Sankranthiki Vasthunam earned ₹8.4 crore.

Scale and expectations

The film's reported budget is ₹128 crore. Set against that cost, the ₹34.8 crore net total is weak. The film's makers have said it collected ₹75 crore gross over its opening weekend, a figure that does not match the net numbers reported by box office trackers.

The film's makers have not commented on the Monday figures. Ramayana, a Hindi film, is due in cinemas this Thursday, and it may take screens in the Telugu states. That could cut further into the film's shows.

What comes next

The film's collections will depend on how well it holds on weekdays and whether its word of mouth improves. Trade figures for later days were not available at the time of writing.
