With a net figure of INR 1.62 Crores and a share of INR 97 Lakhs, The Priest has surely lifted the spirits of the industry. The official figures from producer Anto Joseph are yet to reach the public. He however maintained that the business which The Priest did on its opening day, was much better than many movies during the pre – covid days.
