Abhishek Nama's mythological action-adventure 'Nagabandham - The Secret Treasure' continues its theatrical run with a notable surge on its 12th day. According to early estimates, the film earned approximately Rs 0.92 crore net on its second Tuesday, marking a 5.7% growth from the previous day's collection of Rs 0.87 crore.
With the Day 12 collection, the film's total India net collection has now reached around Rs 18.66 crore, while worldwide gross collections stand at approximately Rs 23.17 crore, including overseas earnings of Rs 1.65 crore. The film was screened across 882 shows on its 12th day, reflecting a steady presence in theaters.
Steady Second Week Performance
The Day 12 collection is particularly significant as it demonstrates the film's ability to maintain momentum during the weekdays. The 5.7% growth on Tuesday is encouraging for a film that had experienced weekday drops earlier in its run. The mythological fantasy drama, which opened to a fair Rs 3.25 crore on its first day and registered Tollywood's 8th biggest opening of 2026, has been performing consistently across Telugu-speaking states.
The film's performance has been driven by strong traction in Tier-2 towns and family audiences drawn to its grand VFX, ancient temple sets, and mythological storyline. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film has benefited from a clear release window with no major Telugu releases in the immediate vicinity.
Cast and Crew Spotlight
Directed and written by Abhishek Nama, Nagabandham features an ensemble cast led by Virat Karrna as the protagonist Rudra, alongside Nabha Natesh, Iswarya Menon, and Rishabh Sawhney as the main antagonist. The film also features key performances from veteran actors Mahesh Manjrekar, Jagapathi Babu, Murali Sharma, and Daksha Nagarkar.
The film is produced by Kishore Annapureddy and Nishitha Nagireddy under the banners of NIK Studios and Abhishek Pictures, and presented by Lakshmi Ira and Devansh Nama. The technical team includes cinematographer Soundar Rajan, editor RC Pranav, and music composers Junaid Kumar and Abhe, with action choreography by Vlad Rimburg.
Set against the backdrop of India's ancient Vishnu temples, the film delves into the enigmatic ritual of Nagabandham, exploring hidden mysteries and sacred traditions. Director Abhishek Nama recently revealed that the makers trimmed nearly 20 minutes from the film following audience feedback, removing a song from the first half and shortening the climax.
