Mass Jathara Box Office Prediction: Ravi Teja’s Film Faces Tough Start as Baahubali The Epic Dominates Theatres

The cinema lovers are in for a treat as the Telugu superstar Ravi Teja comes back to the screens with Mass Jathara, which is one of his biggest projects in the recent past and a major gamble in his career considering the past failures of his movies at the box office. Nevertheless, the initial indicators already point to a difficult path for Mass Jathara, especially with Baahubali: The Epic (Re-Release) grabbing the attention in most of the theaters.

🔸 Slow Start in Advance Bookings

Directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, Mass Jathara is a full-fledged action entertainer that banks heavily on Ravi Teja’s fan base. Despite that, the advance bookings have been underwhelming. As per early trade reports from Sacnilk, the film’s pre-release business stood at ₹61 lakh by Friday afternoon, failing to cross the ₹1 crore mark ahead of its evening release.

One major factor is the delayed release timing — the film opens on Friday evening, reducing the number of shows available on day one compared to other big releases.

🔸 Opening Day Box Office Prediction

Trade analysts predict Mass Jathara could open with ₹2–3 crore net in India — a lower figure than Ravi Teja’s previous release Mr Bachchan, which debuted at ₹3.45 crore. Given that Mr Bachchan managed only ₹13 crore in its lifetime run, these early trends are not encouraging for Mass Jathara.

Adding to the challenge, the re-release of Baahubali: The Epic is drawing large audiences across the Telugu states, creating stiff competition for the new release.

🔸 Trade Analysts’ Take

While the initial outlook seems bleak, trade experts advise caution before writing off Mass Jathara. The film could gain traction over the weekend as it expands to more shows on Saturday and Sunday. However, much depends on word of mouth and audience reviews once the first-day screenings conclude.

🔸 About Mass Jathara

Produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios, the film features Sreeleela and Nitish Nirmal alongside Ravi Teja. With high-octane action, emotional depth, and mass appeal, the makers are hoping it reignites the actor’s box office momentum.

🔹 Final Word

Despite Ravi Teja’s star power, Mass Jathara is facing an uphill climb at the box office. With Baahubali: The Epic dominating the re-release circuit and limited show timings on opening day, the film’s early numbers could fall short of expectations. Saturday’s performance will be critical in determining whether Mass Jathara can turn the tide in its favor.
