Mahesh Babu’s SPYder has under-performed on its opening day as the film grossed approximately Rs 23.40 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Nizam. The AR Murugadoss directorial was expected to collect between Rs 28 to 29 crore in the Telugu speaking states, however, the B and C centers have failed to contribute.
SPYder fared the best in Hyderabad, which is Mahesh Babu’s strong territory, however, Nizam and Ceded are far below the expectations. The film was expected to emerge as the biggest Non-Baahubali opener of all time, however, the film has fallen short by a substantial margin. In the Telugu speaking states, SPYder is the 9th highest opener of all time after Baahubali 2, Jai Lava Kusa, Khaidi No 150, Baahubali, Katamarayudu, Sardaar Gabbar Singh, Janatha Garage and DJ.

As far as all India collection is concerned, the film has grossed in the range of Rs 33 to 34 crore. While the performance in Kerala is decent, the film isn’t up to the mark in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
