Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s plan to score a hit as Sharwanand did with “Shatamanam Bhavati” has failed miserably.
Sharwanand’s film competed with two biggies Chiranjeevi’s “Khaidi No 150” and Balakrishna’s “Gautamaputra Satakarni” and still, it went on to become a huge money-spinner.
Kalyan Ram repeated the same trick this year by placing his movie “Entha Manchivaadavuraa” during the Sankranthi period when “Ala Vaikunthapurramloo” and “Sarileru Neekevvaru” creating havoc at the ticket window.
But Kalyan Ram’s film got sandwiched between these movies, with audiences hardly showing interest to check out his movie at the screens.
The film at the US box-office had collected mere 17k dollars. The scene at the domestic front is similar.
The is a total misfire at the box-office. Kalyan Ram’s attempt at winning the family audiences with a soft-movie didn’t work out.
