Mass Maharaja Raviteja's latest film 'Irumudi' has collected Rs 30 crore share in the first three days across Telugu states, 123telugu.com reports. The film earned Rs 13.5 crore in Nizam area, Rs 11.5 crore in Andhra, and Rs 5 crore in Ceded region. Monday also saw steady collections despite being a working day.

Meanwhile, Yash's 'Toxic' is set to release soon, leading to a sharp reduction in 'Irumudi' screenings. According to 123telugu.com, 'Toxic' has been given more screens including 10 shows at Raviteja's own ART Cinemas, while 'Irumudi' got only 5 shows there. The outlet notes differing opinions in the industry about the allocation.
123telugu.com presents both stories with an industry-insider, promotional tone typical of trade coverage. The first report leads with a celebratory box office figure, presenting the film as a blockbuster without independent verification or audience response. The second report reveals a business reality: the same actor's own theatre gives more shows to a competing film, indicating market forces override star loyalty. The contrast between hype and pragmatism is the real story, but the outlet presents both uncritically. The film's actual sustainability will be tested after the 'Toxic' release.
