It is an interesting clash at the box office today. Jersey starring Nani in the lead role is an emotional sports drama is clashing with Raghava Lawrence’s Kanchana 3, a horror comedy.
Kanchana is one of the successful franchises that always clicks with the target audience. Last film from the franchise looked like it has ran out of gas, but Lawrence is still trying to squeeze money out of it.
Jersey on the other hand is one of its kind sports drama which is authentic unlike films based on sports.
The plot seems similar to the recently released Majili, but Nani’s superlative performance as a struggling cricketer can set Jersey apart. Nani has broken the monotony after doing a string of commercial films.
Jersey needs to hit the bull’s eye for Nani not only because of the fact that his last two films failed, but also for giving him the necessary confidence to explore new themes. He is too good an actor to restrict himself to doing routine stuff.
Nearly Rs. 50 crore is at stake on both the films. A crucial weekend for Telugu box office it is.
