It grossed a mere Rs 6 crore worldwide on an estimated Rs 4 crore budget.

Although the film has Ravi Teja putting up a wonderful performance as an assistant director who desires to become a director, it was a failure, both critically and commercially.
Do you know?
Ayyare is also one of the most disastrous telugu movie of all time!
Directed by Sagar K Chandra, Ayyare was the story of an ATM security guard who turns into a Swamiji to save his ill daughter. Starring Rajendra Prasad, Sivaji, Sai Kumar, Ali, Venu Madhav, among others, the movie was the first of its kind in such genre. Although some fans enjoyed the movie, Ayyare was critically panned, which didn’t help its box office success. Enough to say, that the makers did not receive a favourable return-on-investment and considered a box office dud.
