Court premieres strike ₹2 crore gold

Court, a Telugu courtroom drama sans megastars, stormed into theatres on 14 March 2025, pocketing over ₹2 crore worldwide from its premieres. With Priyadarshi, Harsh Roshan, and Sridevi leading the charge, the film teased audiences with press screenings two days prior and rolled out paid previews across Telugu states and the US on Thursday. That kind of cash for a no-frills cast feels like a gut punch to the star-driven norm.

Natural Star Nani, backing it as presenter, pegged this one as a winner from the jump. He’s onto something—X is lighting up with chatter, fans raving about its tight grip, and Hyderabad’s BookMyShow slots are vanishing fast, with five shows nearly sold out. Producers Deepthi Ganta and Prashanti Tirpineni, alongside director Ram Jagadeesh, have spun a tale that’s pulling crowds on smarts alone, just as Holi weekend kicks in.

The timing’s magic—holiday vibes and word of mouth could catapult it further. No glitzy names, just a story that lands. Trade watchers are betting on a fat weekend take, whispering about packed houses through Monday. Can a film this lean keep the fire blazing against the big dogs? The numbers are talking, and the seats are filling.
