Overseas markets contributed ₹1 crore on Day 10, taking the international gross to ₹22.85 crore.
Strong Audience Response And Profitable Run
The film has maintained steady performance across major regions, especially Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The Telugu version contributed the majority of the earnings, while the Tamil version also added to the overall collection. The film recorded strong occupancy during afternoon and evening shows, reflecting continued audience interest.
Made on a reported budget of ₹20 crore, Maa Inti Bangaaram has already earned nearly four times its production cost globally. Directed by BV Nandini Reddy and written by Raj Nidimoru, the film stars Samantha alongside Sreemukhi, Manjusha Mukkavilli and others in key roles. The movie is now eyeing the ₹100 crore worldwide milestone.
