Despite Biggies, Tollywood MISSES THIS for a Long time since Baahubali
When it comes to sheer box office pull, tollywood is the best in all of indian film. tollywood has everything, including premieres, lengthy runs in various markets, and international premieres. However, the sector has been lacking one important component, and that is "unanimous positive" discussion. A tollywood big-name film hasn't premiered to overwhelmingly great reviews and word-of-mouth in a very long time.
Notable recent major names include Devara, Kalki, Salaar, and guntur Kaaram. Oddly, none of them received positive reviews from everyone when they first released. Every film listed above made money, with the exception of guntur Kaaram (which had a dismal run). However, with stronger word-of-mouth, they would have done even better. Remarkably, rrr itself had conflicting reviews on its premiere day before using its star power to ultimately dominate the box office.
Rangasthalam is arguably the last telugu superstar movie to debut to universal acclaim. Productions have increased and emotive writing has found new outlets since the advent of pan-Indian trends. Perhaps tollywood is taking some time to adjust to this paradigm shift.
Fortunately, tollywood manages to pull in high box office figures thanks to the star power of its performers, even in the absence of unanimously agreed-upon films. Who knows which next telugu blockbuster will finally break the pattern and check all the boxes?
