Even though Rajamouli’s “RRR” moved out of Dasara 2021, the festival brings hope to the theaters with the onset of new releases. Three mid-range films are testing their luck at the box office.
Sharwanand and Siddharth’s multi-starrer “Mahasamudram”, Akhil Akkineni and Pooja Hegde’s rom-com “Most Eligible Bachelor”, and K Raghavendra Rao’s “Pelli SandaD” have successfully generated strong buzz with their aggressive promotions.
Trade pundits say that Rs 45 Crore is riding on these three films this festival season.
Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s “Love Story” was the only film that had raked in terrific numbers after the second wave.
As the recent releases turned out to be damp squibs, theater owners and distributors have placed big bets on these three Dasara releases.
The trailers of “Maha Samudram” have evoked great response and the youngsters, and mass audiences are showing interest in this film. Director Ajay Bhupathi also declared that the film would become a big hit as the previous film “RX 100”.
Akhil Akkineni and Pooja Hegde’s “Most Eligible Bachelor” has raised expectations as the songs became chartbusters. The trend of advance ticket sales for the movie is upbeat.
“Pelli SandaD” may not open big at the box office. But it might attract the family audiences slowly. These three films have reportedly done Rs 45 Crore pre-release business.
