SWAG, the Telugu comedy thriller starring Sree Vishnu, continues to draw attention as it wraps up its third day at the box office. Released on October 4, 2024, the film, directed by Hasith Goli, has been building steady momentum despite facing tough competition from other regional films. As of Day 3, the film is projected to bring in approximately ₹2.10 crore worldwide, reflecting a moderate but promising growth over the weekend.
Day 1 and 2 Performance
The film opened with a decent start on its first day, collecting ₹1.35 crore in India. Though these numbers weren’t blockbuster-level, SWAG performed steadily, benefiting from the anticipation surrounding its lead actor, Sree Vishnu. On Day 2, the film saw a slight increase in its earnings, collecting ₹1.55 crore, bringing its total to ₹2.90 crore at the end of two days.
Day 3 Collection and Trends
On its third day, SWAG witnessed an expected rise in collections, especially due to the weekend push. Early estimates suggest that the movie earned around ₹2.10 crore globally on Sunday. This brings the overall worldwide box office total for SWAG to ₹5 crore in just three days.
| Day | India Net Collection (₹) | Worldwide Collection (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 1.35 crore | 2.00 crore |
| Day 2 | 1.55 crore | 2.10 crore |
| Day 3 | 2.10 crore (expected) | 2.60 crore (expected) |
| Total | 5.00 crore | 6.70 crore (approx) |
Audience Response and Critical Reception
SWAG has been largely appreciated for its humor and performances. Sree Vishnu’s portrayal of a laid-back character with a twist of action has been a highlight. Ritu Varma and Sunil Varma, in supporting roles, have also received praise for their comedic timing. However, the film has faced some criticism for a predictable plot and pacing issues, which may have impacted its overall box office appeal
Despite these minor setbacks, the film has managed to draw in family audiences, thanks to its light-hearted approach and entertaining screenplay. The steady increase in collections over the weekend indicates that SWAG has found its audience, particularly in regional markets like Hyderabad and Bengaluru, where it recorded high occupancy rates.
The Road Ahead
With the weekend behind it, SWAG faces the challenge of sustaining its momentum during the weekdays. While the film has performed decently so far, its ultimate success will depend on how well it holds up over the next week, especially with several big-budget releases scheduled for mid-October.
Given its relatively modest budget and niche appeal, SWAG doesn’t need massive numbers to be considered a success. If it manages to maintain a steady stream of viewers and cross the ₹10 crore mark by the end of its first week, it could be on track for a positive box office verdict.
Conclusion
SWAG has had a steady, if not spectacular, start at the box office, showing gradual growth over its first weekend. With an estimated collection of ₹2.10 crore on Day 3, the film’s total worldwide collection stands at around ₹6.7 crore. Whether it will continue to build on this momentum remains to be seen, but for now, it’s fair to say that SWAG is holding its own amidst a crowded release schedule.
