Superstar Mahesh Babu’s latest outing Maharshi, which is his 25th film, is holding well at the domestic box office with good occupancies, but the collections in overseas market are just average. The mixed word of mouth and below par reviews have impacted the collections in overseas.

Maharshi opened with half a million dollar gross on its Thursday premiers, which is a disappointing start considering Mahesh Babu’s impressive track record in overseas. On Thursday and Friday, the film performed moderately with $ 177K and $ 231K to take the total to $ 923K. Trade circles are expecting that the film will end the weekend close to $ 1.4 million if it posts decent numbers on Saturday and Sunday. At this trend, touching the break even mark looks improbable.

Vamshi Paidipalli’s flat narration and lengthy runtime are the undoing aspects for Maharshi despite Mahesh Babu’s commendable performance.
