As we know, three films are locking horns with each other during the Dasara festive season. Megastar’s ‘Godfather’, Nagarjuna’s ‘The Ghost’ and Bellamkonda Ganesh’s ‘Swathumuthyam’ are hitting the screens on 5th October. Coming out on the same day is what made everything really interesting about this box-office race.
As expected, Megastar’s film is the frontrunner of the three. The star image, big cast and interesting promotional content managed to bring a lot of hype on this project. On the other hand, Nagarjuna pinned a lot of hopes on ‘The Ghost’. The release trailer and the theatrical trailer got a very good response. The promotional material of ‘Swathimuthyam’ by Sithara Entertainments banner has also generated a good buzz.
All three films are trying to get the best out of the Dasara season. They are all busy with promotions and the advance bookings have also opened. The trend in advance bookings suggest that the ‘Godfather’ is a film that the audience are more interested in. The advance bookings are quite high in the Telugu states as well as the overseas.
But it is Nagarjuna’s ‘The Ghost’ which is not getting the desired collections through advance bookings. A lot of shows are still in green zone In the BookMyShow app. The situation is the same in both the Telugu states and it is worse in the overseas market. Out of 118 shows in 80 locations only 1055 tickets got sold.
Nag’s biggest disaster ‘Officer’ got $27k through its premieres. If ‘The Ghost’ doesn’t show any improvements, it may post even low numbers. Nag’s films have not performed well at the box office in recent times. This is the reason why the audience are not showing interest in ‘The Ghost’. They are waiting for the talk to come out first.
The team is quite confident regarding the output and we need to see what happens. Nag will be seen as the Interpol officer in this film. Sonal Chauhan who appeared as Nagarjuna’s subordinate offered a glamor feast along with taking part in some kickass action sequences. While Gul Panag played Nagarjuna’s sister, Anikha Surendran appeared as his niece.
Directed by Praveen Sattaru, Cinematography is handled by Mukesh G, wherein Brahma Kadali is the art director. Dinesh Subbarayan and Kaecha are the stunt directors. Mark K Robin who is an expert in scoring music for action and thriller movies deserves special mention for his background score. This project is bankrolled by Sree Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP and Northstar Entertainment Banners. Praveen Sattaru is the director.
