Mumbai, August 30 - Vijay Deverakonda had a chance to include himself in the elite league of Telugu stars and could have extended Tollywood's dominance at the box office with his sports action drama, Liger, but things turned out otherwise.

The Puri Jagannadh-directed film was one of the most hyped Indian films of 2022 and it could have made big even with the mixed reception, but Alas!... it opened to one of the poorest responses in 2022 from audiences and critics which dismissed its chance to score big on the opening day itself.



"Liger" took the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda's film, but from the second day onwards, the movie crashed badly and couldn't grow further, even on Sunday. The movie had a rare chance to hold on to the lower level on weekdays, but even that didn't happen as it scored approx. 1.40 crores on Monday for all languages and officially becomes one of the biggest disasters of the year.

Vijay Deverakonda promoted the film aggressively across the country and it looked like the movie will become a big blockbuster. The advance booking was also excellent but what happened next is there for everyone to see. It has so far grossed approx. 50 crores and will be wrapped up under 70 crores worldwide.

The performance of Vijay Deverakonda got praise but it was Jagannadh's writing and direction that led the entire efforts of the team to go in vain. Critics are claiming it is the worst Puri Jagannadh film ever and the box office numbers also suggest the same.

Karan Johar's Dharma Production produced the film in association with Puri Connects. It also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead alongside Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy in key roles. Former American boxer, Mike Tyson plays a cameo role, making his Indian film debut.
