The film ‘Basanti’ came in with a lot of hype because it had Goutham, son of Brahmanandam, making a comeback of sorts and it was more like a do-or-die attempt for him. From his end, Brahmi moved heaven and earth to ensure the film gets maximum mileage and publicity.
However, it looks like Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan didn’t give the required push but instead he pushed Goutham away.
According to reports, it is heard that ‘Basanthi’ was to release in more number of theaters but then it was not given the required number. The reason for that was Ram Charan’s film ‘Yevadu’.
Apparently, ‘Yevadu’ was approaching its 50th day and as a result, a sizeable number of theatres were reportedly captured by it. With this, ‘Basanti’ had to arrive a day late and that has also affected the film’s collections.
The filmnagar folks say the film got very average response but if some strong word of mouth publicity works then it can pick up. For now, it looks doubtful.
