Epic Box Office Collection Day 1: Anand Deverakonda Registers 2nd Best Opening Of His Career

Anand Deverakonda’s feature Epic – First Semester arrived in cinemas on September 11, holding an A rating from the censor board and generating significant anticipation. Backed by extensive promotional efforts—supported by his connections to Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna—and starring Vaishnavi Chaitanya in the lead role, the Telugu drama managed a modest opening at the box office despite the adult certification.

How Much Did Epic – First Semester Earn At The Box Office On Opening Day?

The Anand Deverakonda-starrer pulled in 2.1 crore net across India on its debut day, marking a solid start for the Telugu feature. Social media responses on day one ranged from positive to mixed, leaving the upcoming weekend trajectory to be determined. Within the Telugu-speaking states, the movie faces minimal direct opposition, with only *Irumudi* currently running in its fourth week.

Initially, superstar brother Vijay Deverakonda was scheduled for a box office clash against *Epic*, but the elder sibling shifted his arrival. *Ranabaali*, which reunites real-life partners Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna on screen, is now slated for a Dussehra release.

Becomes Anand Deverakonda’s 2nd Biggest Opening

Anand Deverakonda’s highest opening to date belongs to his lone hit project, *Baby*, which hauled 4.05 crore net on day one on its way to a 100-crore gross. The performer launched his career in 2019 via *Dorasani*, a commercial disappointment, and later scored a hit with *Middle Class Melodies*, though that title debuted directly on OTT. Sustained momentum for *Epic* could position it as Anand’s second theatrical success.
