Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is playing the antagonist in SS Rajamouli and Superstar Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Vaaranasi, recently released his new Malayalam film Vilayath Buddha. Despite his massive stardom in Kerala, the film has been overshadowed at the box office by a smaller-budget movie, Eko.
Although Vilayath Buddha opened to decent numbers, its typical commercial formula and lack of engaging elements led audiences to reject it. Additionally, many viewers felt that the trailer reminded them of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa, which created high expectations that the film ultimately failed to meet.
Prithviraj had previously delivered hits like Ayyappanum Koshiyum and Driving License, both centered around ego clashes. Fans expected Vilayath Buddha to follow suit with strong content, but it fell short of those expectations.
On the other hand, Eko, a mystery-thriller starring a relatively new actor, gained traction at the box office thanks to positive word of mouth. Although morning collections were modest, the film picked up momentum during evening and night shows. It is now poised to dominate the box office this weekend, as Vilayath Buddha continues to underperform.
This episode reinforces the trend that today’s audiences prioritize strong content over star power. Even a small-budget film can triumph over a star-driven commercial release if it offers an engaging and well-made experience.
