Akkineni Nagarjuna's "Soggade Chinni Nayana" (SCN) has done good collection at the worldwide box office in its first weekend. It has landed in the second place in the business chart, pushing "Dictator" and "Express Raja".
The promos of "Soggade Chinni Nayana" had garnered a lot of attention before its release in theatres. The makers had also planned massive promotions for the film and it enjoyed good advance bookings too. But the trade experts were a bit sceptic about its success at the ticket counters because it was released days after "Nannaku Prematho", "Dictator" and "Express Raja" hit the screens.
To everyone's surprise, "Soggade Chinni Nayana" opened to superb response with its average occupancy reaching 70% in the morning shows on Friday. The movie got positive reviews from the audience and the word-of-mouth took its business upwards in the later shows. The film collected Rs 5.5 crore gross at the AP/T box office on the first day. It fetched Rs 3.90 crore to its distributors.
