Gopala Gopala mints Rs 48 cr in first week

Actors Pawan Kalyan and Daggubati Venkatesh-starrer ‘Gopala Gopala’, the Telugu remake of Hindi hit ‘OMG: Oh My God!’ has struck gold at the box office by collecting a whopping Rs 48 crore worldwide in its first week.

“Despite the onslaught of Vikram-starrer ‘I’, ‘Gopala...’ has done phenomenal business of approximately Rs 48 crore in its opening weekend worldwide,” trade analyst Trinath said.

Directed by Kishore Kumar Pardasani, the film, which released on January 10, featured Pawan and Venkatesh together for the first time. Pawan played the god, while Venkatesh reprised the role of Paresh Rawal from the original.
