'Maa Inti Bangaaram' Box Office: The Samantha Ruth Prabhu Film Crosses ₹40 Crore Worldwide

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's latest Telugu film Maa Inti Bangaaram has grossed ₹41.79 crore at the worldwide box office, according to Sacnilk. The action drama, which was released on June 19, has seen incremental growth in its Indian box office numbers, raking in ₹26.69 crore in India gross.

The film, which opened with ₹5.15 crore India net on its first day, jumped to ₹9.5 crore on its third day, seeing a rise in its numbers.

Maa Inti Bangaaram unites Reddy with Samantha for the second time following their hit Telugu fantasy comedy Oh Baby (2019). Written by Raj Nidimoru and Vasanth Maringanti, the June 19 release follows the life of a homemaker (played by Samantha Ruth Prabhu), who is forced to reckon with her action-packed past. Produced by Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Raj Nidimoru, and Himank Duvvuru, the film features Diganth Manchale and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles alongside a supporting cast of Sree Mukhi, Gautami, Anand, Lakshmi, Srinivas Gavireddy, and Manjusha.

"Samantha is a delight throughout the film, which makes her kick, cry, smile and somersault to keep the invaders away. In so many ways, the role is tailor-made for the actor, who enjoys a unique stardom in the industry. It's hard to imagine anyone else playing this character, which is wrapped in duality (she's tough and capable, but she also never misses a chance to get a laugh out of things)," read THR India's review of the film.

In an earlier interview with THR India, Reddy spoke about why it was important Samantha got the best big screen comeback with this film. "I'd like to see Sam do all the things we have loved seeing her doing and more of it. Apart from being a great actor, she's such a star. She's so well-loved. She's not a cutesy teenager anymore. Keeping in mind the maturity that she has and still making all those elements work was important. And to make her shine absolutely brightly again. Because that's what people want to see. I know how they will be waiting to see that film, so to reach those expectations is 100% pressure," she said.
