Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Ravi Teja's new Telugu action-drama Irumudi has grossed around Rs 71.87 crore worldwide in its first three days, according to Greatandhra. The film collected Rs 18.80 crore net in India on Day 3, taking the domestic net to Rs 50.30 crore. Pinkvilla reported a combined two-day global total of Rs 44.50 crore, while Koimoi put the figure at Rs 47.17 crore. Greatandhra noted Day 3 net grew 16% over Day 2's Rs 16.20 crore, a sign of solid audience word-of-mouth. Overseas markets contributed Rs 13.50 crore in three days. The film is Ravi Teja's fourth-highest grosser since the pandemic and is projected to overtake Tiger Nageswara Rao's Rs 49.03 crore lifetime net this Sunday. Irumudi has a production budget of Rs 35 crore and has already recovered 90% of its cost, per industry tracking data.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Koimoi leads with boosterish headline hype and a ₹47.17 cr Day-2 figure. Pinkvilla puts Day-2 at ₹44.50 cr, a factual disagreement, while framing success as a 'big HIT'. Greatandhra, the only source with Day-3 data, reports ₹71.87 cr global and flags 16% weekend growth and word-of-mouth. Koimoi omits the lower boundary, painting only a success story. No source reports any negative reception or competing releases. The measured takeaway: the three sources agree Irumudi is strong for Ravi Teja, the precise gross varies and Day-3 momentum is the real metric. Watch Greatandhra for the next day's figure to confirm whether weekday holds sustain the 'comeback' claim.
