Two low-budget films with no major star cast were released in theaters last weekend. "Maa Oori Polimera 2" was an occult thriller, while "Keedaa Cola" was a crime comedy. Both films received decent reviews.
However, at the box office in the United States, "Keedaa Cola" earned a big money for a low-budget film. The film became a smash hit in the United States within the first weekend.
Tharun Bhascker's debut film "Pelli Choopululu" was a blockbuster in the United States. His second film, "Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi," did reasonably well at the box office. His third film, too, is off to a strong start. The film grossed more than half million dollars in its first weekend.

In contrast, the heavily promoted "Maa Oori Polimera 2" earned under $100k. This is an impressive number for this type of film.
