If a report by Sancilk.com is to be believed, Srikanth earned Rs 4 crore in India on Friday. The film had an overall Occupancy of 20.25% in the Hindi market.

Srikanth is based on the indomitable spirit of Srikanth Bolla, an industrialist who defied all odds to carve his own path to success despite facing visual impairment. Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani.

Besides Rajkummar Rao, Srikanth also stars Jyothika, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar. Previously, in an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, Alaya opened up about working with Rajkummar for the first time and said, “He’s just so in character – he’s so invested in acting. It’s incredible. I mean, it’s a masterclass watching him do what he does. He’s also really, really sweet, kind, and a lovely person. So, it was great working with him!”

Srikanth opened to mostly positive reviews. News18 Showsha gave 3.5 stars to the Tushar Hiranandani directorial. “Srikanth completely rests on Rajkummar Rao’s shoulder. The actor has put himself outside his comfort zone to ace the nuances of the character. However, due to the screenplay’s lack of depth, the actor looked like he was hamming in a few scenes in the second half. I wish the second half was tackled a lot better because the film could be bigger than it already is. Another issue I had with the film was the length of Alaya F’s role. She seamlessly fits into the film but the film doesn’t explore her role,” the review read.
