Bumper booking in Telugu language: Vijay Deverakonda is a well-known name in Telugu cinema. This is the reason why this film is getting a good response in the Telugu-speaking states. According to the data received so far, Rs 3.66 crore bookings have been done in this language. According to media reports, till now nearly 2 lakh tickets for this film have been booked.

Advance booking status in Hindi belt: In comparison to the Telugu language, Liger has hardly done any business in the Hindi belt so far. The promotion of this film was also done fiercely in the Hindi belt, but despite so much publicity, tickets for the film have been sold for only Rs 35 lakh so far.

Lowest collections in Tamil Nadu: Apart from Telugu and Hindi, Liger is also being released in the Tamil language. But in this state, there is not much interest in the audience regarding this film. According to the reports, Tamil advance booking has been the lowest so far. Per the latest figures, only 3.5 lakh tickets have been booked in this language so far. At the same time, if the advance booking earnings are seen by combining all the three languages, then this figure has reached only Rs 4 crore.

Total collection from three languages: If the advance booking collections from Telugu, Hindi and Tamil are taken into consideration, then the film has earned Rs 4 crore (approximately), so far. Liger will hit the theatres on Friday. The film has been facing ‘boycott calls’ on social media, since the time Vijay Deverakonda spoke in favour of Aamir Khan and his film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. Amidst this, it will be interesting to see if the film actually does work well or not.
