With big budget films lined up for Sankranthi, a bunch of notable movies released to cash in on the Christmas weekend. Gopichand’s Soukyam was released a day ahead of the other three films. Despite being the biggie among the four releases Soukyam turned out to be the worst of all in terms of content.
Trade expected Loukyam kind of magic from Gopichand but AS Ravikumar Chowdary failed to do what Srivas was able to. Soukyam opened with average openings and didn’t pick up over the weekend as the word of mouth was very bad and the filmgoers had so many other options to choose.
Mohanbabu, Allari Naresh duo failed to get decent openings in spite of having a notable supporting star cast. Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu opened on a dull note and continued the trend without any sign of improvement.
Bhale Manchi Roju is the pick of the lot as it is doing particularly good in A centers and the plexes. This crime comedy got good reviews and is liked by the audience who love to watch quirky comedies.
Bhale Manchi Roju performed decent overseas too while all other movies ended up as disasters there. Jatha Kalise caught the attention of the masses with attractive publicity. This film did okay for its budget and scale. It needs to remain steady to get into safe zone. Not a great send off to this year as there isn’t any super hit among December releases.
