Allu Arjun’s performance along with that of the team’s, plus the overall entertainment factor of the film, has pulled the crowds into the theatres even though it clashed with another biggie, Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru which released a day prior to Ala Vaikunthapuramloo. While both films have done well at the ticket counters in the first week, Sarileru Neekevvaru collecting 90 crores while Ala Vaikunthapuramloo garnering 119 crores, the Allu Arjun-starrer has raced ahead in numbers, marking a new milestone for Telugu cinema.
