The Telugu film GODFATHER, which had Salman Khan in cameo role, has not fared well. The collections in Hindi never had much of a chance anyway but the film has performed very badly in its home market of Andhra Pradesh as well.

The business of the film was only 2.50 crore nett on Monday after a 22 crore nett start on day one which was Wednesday. The main market is the home market and GODFATHER in Nizam/Andhra will do about 60 crore which is a little better than the last film ACHARYA which was last film of Chiranjeevi but that is well short of expectations. 

The film replaced VIKRAM VEDHA in a lot of single screens but despite the Hrithik Roshan starrer having dull collections, it still may have got better numbers than GODFATHER especially in UP, MP and East.

The collections of GODFATHER for 6 days across India are as follows. 

Hindi - 4,25,00,000

Nizam/Andhra - 50,00,00,000

Mysore/Karnataka - 4,25,00,000

Rest - 1,50,00,000 (including Telegu in hindi circuits)

GODFATHER (Hindi) which had a guest role by Salman Khan had dull collections of 2 crore nett. The trailer of the film had a very Telugu feel which limits its appeal hugely in Hindi circuits. Surprisingly, it was the North circuits which fared better with even East Punjab having a 11% contribution when normally for a typical South film, it is around 6%. This is probably due to Dusshera or Salman Khan factor. For a South film, 2 crore nett is actually not bad but this film had face value for the Hindi audience be it in a guest role.

The film could also not make its mark in South also as it collected around 17.50 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra which is the local market for the film and it will be downhill from here. The main lead of the film is Chiranjeevi who is the biggest star ever in Telugu but obviously not the same force of old as this films comes on the back of another debacle, ACHARYA. There were limited collections in rest of South also as the all India collections of the film were around 23.50 crore nett.

The apprx day one collections of Godfather in India are as follows.

Hindi - 2,00,00,000

Nizam/Andhra - 17,50,00,000

Mysore/Karnataka - 3,00,00,000

Rest (including Telugu in Hindi circuits) - 1,00,00,000
