Within two days of its release "SVSC" has earned approximately ₹5 crore. The film also earned tremendous pre-release attention and raked in approximately ₹1.13 crore from 62 locations.

"As you read this, Telugu film #SVSC nears $ 1 million mark on Saturday itself in USA. Latest count: $ 913,289. Still counting. INCREDIBLE!" trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted.

"#SVSC is smashing records left, right and centre in USA. Fri $ 338,228 from 67 locations [still counting]. Total: $ 552,041. USA: Telugu film #SVSC Thu $ 205,347 [Rs 1.13 cr] from 62 locations.
