The theatrical rights of Gaalodu are said to be sold at 2.75 crores in AP-TG. The break-even target is valued at 3 crores, hence it will have to recover around 3 crores distributor’s shares at the box office to be considered a hit flick. The target seems easy considering the pre-release buzz and the good amount of screens it has occupied in the home market.
