Vijay Deverakonda is in the best phase of his career. The young lad is making quite a noise with the success of his latest flick Geetha Govindam. The movie got released on August 15 and still continues to hold the market tight with minting moolah not only at the domestic but overseas market as well. Coming to the trade talk, Geetha Govindam has piped Arjun Reddy’s lifetime collections.
Geetha Govindam minted $1.78 million (Rs 12.5) crore in its first week, while Arjun Reddy raked in $1,778,997 (Rs 12.4 crores). Geetha Govindam has also added one more feather to its burgeoning cap as it has beaten Akshay Kumar’s Gold and John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate in the overseas collection in Australia. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh announced on social media stating that the combined collections of Gold and Satyameva Jayate is not equal to Geetha Govindam.

Meanwhile, the team of Geetha Govindam held success party on August 19 in Hyderabad which saw Megastar Chiranjeevi as the chief guest. Chiranjeevi congratulated Vijay for his histrionics and went on to add that, the film had now made him into a star that is being lapped up by all the sections of the audience. Megastar spoke about Vijay’s transformation from Arjun Reddy character to a sober and sincere guy in Geetha Govindam. He then reminisced about his film Vijetha which too had a similar genre of Vijay’s film. Explaining further he said, at a time when he was doing action films, Vijetha came in, adding though he was sceptical but signed the film as it was a family movie. He made these comparisons with Vijay’s film which is also a family film, thus helped in breaking his earlier role.
