Last weekend saw the premiere of two new films at the tollywood box office: Manjummel Boys (a Telugu-dubbed version of a malayalam film) and Family Star. This is a look at these two films' box office performance. Following a rather calm beginning, Vijay Deverakonda's Family Star began to falter significantly on the second day. This commercial potboiler has very poor opening weekend collections. The poor work of director Parasuram has hurt this Vijay-starring film.
If Vijay is to maintain the momentum he had previously and his immense potential, it is imperative that he drastically change things up and reevaluate his starting lineup. Family Star appears to be heading towards significant losses at the box office, making it a sinking ship. Regarding Manjummel Boys, this movie had a roaring beginning at the box office in Tollywood.
It serves a portion of the telugu audience, and based on positive feedback from the telugu community, more performances were added over the weekend. Good films have found a particularly receptive audience in telugu lately, and this film is continuing the trend. After a fantastic first week, Tillu Square had a promising second week. This siddhu Jonnalagadda film has been one of the most successful of the year at the box office, earning a good amount of money.
