There are people who often say that Tollywood needs to come up with variety and versatile content. But some situations arise where two filmmakers arrive with the same kind of cinema. No one knows this till these films hit the screens hits and the audience find out about it in theatres. Though each director makes it in his own style with different backdrops, different budgets and different styles, the basic concept remains the same. Aadi’s ‘Sukumarudu’ and Nagarjuna’s ‘Greeku Veerudu’ which came out in the same month have a similar storyline.
In the same way, ‘Chandramukhi’ and ‘Aprichitudu’ deal with a split personality disorder. In a similar manner, two films are now dealing with the same concept. Sharwanand’s ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ released recently and got a very good response from the critics. It is based on the time travelling concept where three friends go back in time to rectify some mistakes. Without any grandeur and confused screenplay, the director made this film in a clear-cut fashion which impressed everyone.
Now, a big star hero is also dealing with time travel concept. But the scale is huge for this film. Around 500 crores are being spent on this film which is under progress at the moment. Top-class artists and top-notch technicians are brought on board for this project and it will have a pan-Indian release. While it will be having a different backdrop and new scenes, the basic concept remains the same as ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ as per reports. Let us wait and see if the big hero impresses with his time travel film like Sharwanand or not.

Sree Vishnu’s Double Release Strategy: One Week Gap, Big Stakes
The news of promising star Sree Vishnu arriving with two films almost back-to-back created a huge buzz in trade circles. Initially, Mrityunjay was locked for a February 26 release, while Vishnu Vinyasam was scheduled for February 27, raising eyebrows across the industry.
After several discussions and careful consideration, the makers decided to avoid a direct clash. While Vishnu Vinyasam retained its release date, Mrityunjay has now been postponed by a week and will hit screens on March 6.
From a trade perspective, the situation is quite interesting. Vishnu Vinyasam is said to be a comic entertainer, whereas Mrityunjay is a crime thriller. Since both films belong to completely different genres, each carries its own audience appeal. In today’s box office scenario, where most films generate the bulk of their collections within the first week, this one-week gap could work as a strategic advantage.
However, much depends on the audience verdict. If Vishnu Vinyasam emerges as a blockbuster, it could impact the momentum of Mrityunjay. On the other hand, if Mrityunjay delivers strong content and positive word of mouth, it could easily dominate the box office. And if both films strike gold, Sree Vishnu might enjoy a rare double success at the ticket windows.
