The Telugu movie got 90 percent public ratings on PayTM and Google and 9.3 on the BookMyShow app.
Sree Vishnu, Priyadarshi, and Rahul Ramakrishna’s latest outing Om Bheem Bush initially had a slow start on its opening day (22 March), but has steadily gained momentum over the weekend.
Trade analysts observed that the film’s collections on Saturday and Sunday were more than what it registered on the first day.
Despite the IPL fever this summer, there’s a noticeable increase in audience turnout for the Telugu film in theatres.
The production unit officially announced that Om Bheem Bush grossed ₹17 crore in just three days, with an additional achievement of crossing the $315k mark in the USA.
Positive feedback about the comedy sequences seems to have been contributing to the film’s success, especially with strong support from the youth in various centres.
Cashing in on the extended weekend with Holi falling on Monday, it’s certain that the film would register good footfalls.
UV Creations’ strategy seems to be paying off well, especially with the extended weekend.
Om Bheem Bush expected competition from Allari Naresh’s film Aa Okkati Adakku, which pulled out from the competition.
As another film Telugu-Kannada bilingual Lineman failed to impress the audience, Om Bheem Bush surged ahead with good numbers.
Terrific response for the team of #OmBheemBush in Tirupati with housefull crowds ❤️🔥

Meanwhile, the production unit has planned promotional tours.
The film team plans to embark on a whirlwind tour in Tirupati, Nellore, Ongole, Guntur, and Vijayawada on Monday, 25 March.
The next five days are crucial for Om Bheem Bush, especially since Siddu Jonnalagadda Tillu Square is releasing in theatres.
With a break-even target of ₹14 crore, this horror-comedy needs to capitalise on the weekdays. Any earnings beyond that can be considered profits.
Theatres are facing a shortage of good films in the last couple of weeks.
Though the Telugu dubbed version of Premalu did well in urban cities, the response in rural areas was dull. Vishwak Sen’s Gaami fell flat in the first week itself. Now, Om Bheem Bush has the opportunity to win the hearts.
