The “Geetha Govindham” team, consisting of actor Vijay Deverakonda and director Parasuram, returned with “Family Star” amidst high anticipation. Dil Raju’s production banner further amplified the pre-release buzz. However, the film failed to live up to expectations upon release.
Disappointment began with early screenings in the US and continued with the morning shows in Telugu states. Social media became a breeding ground for negativity, with comparisons drawn to Deverakonda’s previous film “Liger,” which was also commercially unsuccessful. Based on the initial reception, one might have expected empty theaters by afternoon.
Despite the critical reception, “Family Star” witnessed a surprising turn of events. Theater occupancy rates remained encouraging, with bookings for upcoming shows holding strong. Whether driven by Deverakonda’s fan following, Dil Raju’s established reputation, or the summer season advantage, the film managed to attract audiences for its first shows and evening screenings.
This unexpected audience turnout offers a glimmer of hope for the “Family Star” team. If the film manages to maintain its momentum through the weekend, it could potentially achieve a measure of commercial success. However, the film’s long-term performance remains to be seen. Only time will tell if “Family Star” can overcome its negative reviews and emerge as a viable box office contender.
