This
august, the
box office in
tollywood has remained relatively stable, with few films managing to make a profit at the ticket booths. The mainstream movies Mr. Bachchan and Double Ismart had trouble drawing large crowds of
people to the cinema. Now that
nani is arriving on this month's 29th together with Saripodha Sanivaaram, the ball is in his court. With this
movie,
nani seems to be making a comeback to the mainstream
genre following Dasara.
Known for his gentle and thoughtful films,
vivek Athrey has taken a different approach to give this
movie a wide appeal. Has the youthful and gifted
director been successful in his work? We'll soon have the answer. In any case,
nani has the support of the crowd, and it is his responsibility to draw a sizable crowd to the cinemas.
August had the most noteworthy releases of any month, but alas, aside from a few modest hits like Aay and Committe Kurrallu (which were mostly word-of-mouth rather than BO statistics), there hasn't been much to look forward to.
tollywood is in dire need of a hit, and the public is looking for top-notch entertainment, so it would be interesting to see what
nani has in store for the
audience this time around.
