US box office collection: Tholi Prema beats Fidaa record, Chalo fares better than Gayatri

Tholi Prema has made a fantastic collection at the US box office in premiere shows beating Fidaa's record. Also, last week's release Chalo has fared better than the new release Gayatri (Gayathri) on Thursday.

Varun Tej's previous film Fidaa's success at the US box office has created a great demand for the theatrical rights of Tholi Prema. A leading distribution house acquired its rights and made grand plans for its release in North America. The hype helped the movie get superb response at the US box office in the premiere shows.
