A bunch of interesting flicks got released this weekend too in order to impress the audience. Most of them are made on limited budgets but they failed to get a positive response from the audience. All of them faltered at the box office and the only film which is going strong is ‘Samajavaragamana’ which released last week.
Every week, the movie lovers are treated to new content in theatres or the OTT platforms. If a movie gets positive talk, it will run strongly on big screens for two weeks. If it gets a blockbuster talk, they run for a month. But not many films extended their run to the second week over the past couple of months. The last film to do that is the mystery thriller ‘Virupaksha’. The movie ran with good occupancy for a month and no other film managed to impress the audience in recent weeks. But Sree Vishnu’s ‘Samajavaragamana’ which was released last weekend without any buzz has highly entertained the audience and is bringing the audience into the theatres.
Coming to this weekend’s releases, all of them have disappointed the audience. The most popular film of the lot is Naga Shaurya’s ‘Rangabali’. The promotions through Satya created a lot of buzz. Usually, Shaurya suits well for romantic entertainers with good comedy but ‘Rangabali’ failed to reach the expectations. Keeravani’s younger son Sri Simha’s ‘Bhaag Saale’ was released too. This crime comedy attracted the viewers with its trailer but it is on its way to be a disaster.
‘7:11 PM’ which is a movie made on the time travel concept was appreciated for the idea. Not many makers tried it in Telugu and the only films that come to our mind are ‘Aditya 369′, ’24’ and ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’. Despite a good effort from the team, the movie did not get a lot of appreciation. Period drama ‘Rudrangi’ featuring Jagapathi Babu, Mamata Mohandas, Vimala Raman and others arriving this weekend as well. Though the performances are good, the movie did not have a universal appeal. Neelakantha’s ‘Circle’ too went unnoticed. It is ‘Samajavaragamana’ who is still enjoying a good run at the box office.
