The makers of two of South India’s biggest outings, KGF 2 and Beast unveiled the trailers of these respective films last week. But interestingly enough, neither of these trailers could garner a unanimous response from the audience. While the trailer of Beast mostly struggles due to the lack of adrenaline pumping sequence, KGF 2’s trailer doesn’t pack a punch as the trademark elevation blocks are missing in it.
Going by the trailer, Beast is more of a comedy oriented celluloid than a full on action packed thriller. This trailer caters to Vijay’s fans and a section of Tamil audience. But it doesn’t have a wider appeal. That said, the director of Beast, Nelson has shown that he is more than capable of delivering a winning comedy oriented drama with Doctor and he will be looking to do something similar with Beast this time around.
If Beast garners a unanimously positive response from the audience after it releases in theatres on the 13th of April, the film will most certainly set the Tamil Nadu box office on fire, thanks to Vijay’s superstardom. The film will be getting a super wide release as well. If at all Beast garners a unanimous response, it will be an uphill task for KGF 2 which arrives in theatres on the 14th of this month, a day later than BEast.
Beast might do well in Tamil Nadu and as well as the twin Telugu states if it gets a positive response from the audience. This will eat into the box office prospects of KGF 2 which is releasing a day later than Beast. But that doesn’t mean, KGF 2 can be underestimated. The film is banking on the super success of the first part and it can set the ticket counters on fire as it releases on the 14th of April.
As things stand, the trailers of Beast and KGF 2 haven’t met the expectations of the audience. But that doesn’t matter if the films garner a unanimous word of mouth as they release in theatres in 10 days from now.
