Completing a 50-day theatrical run is a major box office milestone in Tollywood, and Student No. 1 achieved exactly that. The film ran in 73 centers on its 50th day, marking the milestone on 15 November 2001. This remarkable 50-day run was spread across vizag, gajuwaka, gopalapatnam, vijayanagaram, srikakulam, payakarao peta and several other major centers, reflecting the film's broad audience appeal across the Telugu states. Sustaining 73 centers at the 50-day mark is a clear indicator of exceptional word-of-mouth and repeat viewership.
About Student No. 1
Student No. 1 — a Action, Crime, Drama film — was released on 27 Sept 2001, directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The film features N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Gajala, Rajeev Kanakala, Brahmanandam delivering standout performances that resonated deeply with Telugu audiences. At his father's request, Aditya attends a law college in the coastal metropolis of Visakhapatnam, although he actually wanted to become an engineer. On the first day he meets the beautiful Anjali. Over time, the female student slowly begins to become interested in the strange newcomer, who acts nice and friendly but doesn't seem to be interested in anything else. The college is notorious for its disobediently and disorderly students. It's not the professors who are in charge on campus, but rather the student leader Satya. He is also in love with Anjali and sees Aditya as a competitor who needs to be put in his place. So Aditya faces multiple problems as he tries to reform the unruly students while dealing with his terrible past that everyone doesn't know about. View full movie details →
