Chiranjeevi's Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has made a decent collection at the worldwide box office in the five-day-extended first weekend and pushed Mahesh Babu's Srimanthudu out of the list of all-time top 10 highest-grossing Telugu films.

The hype and curiosity surrounding Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy generated various aspects making its theatrical rights sell at record prices. The distributors booked nearly 4,000 screens for the film across the globe in a bid to cash in Chiru mania. The hype helped it register decent advance booking.

The Surender Reddy-directed period movie opened to humongous response at the ticket counters with most of the cinema halls witnessing 100 per cent occupancy on Wednesday. Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy collected Rs 81.40 crore gross at the worldwide box office on the first day.

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy was successful in impressing the audience and meeting their expectations. Trade experts predicted that the word of mouth would help it go on strength to strength. It witnessed a steep decline of over 70 per cent on Thursday, remained rock-steady on Friday and Saturday. However, the film showed some of the growth in its business on Sunday.
