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.

Akhanda 2 Struggles to Cross $1M in North America
Akhanda 2 has grossed approximately $915K in North America, with just one day left to complete its first week in US theaters. The film also has only one more day to benefit from wider screen availability.
From Friday onwards, most North American screens will be taken over by the blockbuster “Avatar 3,” significantly reducing show counts for Akhanda 2. As a result, the film will not enjoy a free run in its second weekend, with limited screen availability expected.
Adding to the challenge, Bollywood release “Dhurandhar” continues to perform strongly even in its second week and is likely to dominate screens in its third week as well. Considering these factors, Akhanda 2 faces an uphill task in crossing the $1 million milestone. While there is still a chance the film might reach the mark by the end of its second weekend, it remains a difficult feat.
Most of Balakrishna’s recent films reached the $1 million mark within their opening weekend, making this a rare and challenging situation. Director Boyapati Srinu’s films have historically struggled in the North American market, and lukewarm ratings for Akhanda 2 have further impacted its overseas prospects.
