Even though there was less buzz for Uppendra’s film ‘UI’, the unique statutory warning, in the beginning, seems to have caught the attention of the audiences. The movie opened with more than Rs 6 crores at the box office.
According to the Sacnilk website, ‘UI’ has managed to collect Rs 6.75 crores from India on its opening day. From its home ground Karnataka, Uppendra’s directorial has minted Rs 6 crores which is impressive.
Reportedly the Uppendra starrer dystopian science fiction movie has minted Rs 70 lakhs from the Telugu box office and from Tamil Nadu it has collected Rs 4 lakhs. From the Hindi region the sci-fi film has collected Rs 1 lakh.
Coming to the occupancy rates, ‘UI’ had an overall 72.44 percent Kannada occupancy on December 20, Friday with morning shows at 63.06 percent, afternoon shows at 61.82 percent, evening shows at 75 percent, and night shows at 89.86 percent.
‘UI’ had an overall 38.32 percent Telugu occupancy on the opening day with morning shows at 33.34 percent, afternoon shows at 29.04 percent, evening shows at 36.24 percent, and night shows at 54.66 percent.
In Tamil Nadu, the Uppendra starrer had an overall occupancy of 7.39 percent with morning shows at 3.71 percent, afternoon shows at 5.69 percent, evening shows at 3 percent, and night shows at 17.17 percent.
ETimes rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars. Our review reads, “ Technically the film is not very sound. Shot completely in two different sets with 2 opposite colour pallets, the film frequently switches between two worlds, failing to create visual harmony. Since the focus is to deliver a real eye-opening experience and not a cinematic one, it may matter to many. Somewhere, Upendra, who is returning to direction after a decade, seems to be lost in an overwhelming sea of philosophical preachings. Ajaneesh Loknath’s intro for Kalki is a banger. The film has two songs - Troll Agatte, and Cheap Cheap - both placed abruptly between the scenes.”
