Whenever a new film of big star is releasing, there is this talk about trade numbers and how much the film is going to amass finally. While the pre-release numbers sound true in 90% of the cases, its the predictions that boomerang always with 50-50 chances. Let’s see what trade circles are buzzing about ‘Srimanthudu’.
From last two films, Mahesh Babu’s trade is always touching that 50 crore mark. This is in terms of theatrical rights that are sold to worldwide distributors. At first ‘1 Nenokkadine’ did a pre-release business of 53+ crores excluding satellite and remake rights. Then, ‘Aagadu’ over took it slightly by heading up to 56+ crores.
However, these two films disappointed distributors as they failed to collect even 3/4th of their investment. And now, ‘Srimanthudu’ got sold out to Andhra, Nizam, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Overseas for approximately 59 crores, including Telugu and Tamil version. Almost all these above said three films have nearly same numbers to recover from box office.
Expectations on this flick are so high even now, though Mahesh tried to prepare his fans and audiences right from the starting that this is a message oriented commercial cinema. Anyway, the burden of 59 crores rides on the film now, to paddle Srimanthudu distributors to shores. Wish Mahesh succeeds big time.
