Out of the two straight big films - "Veera Simha Reddy' of Balakrishna and "Waltair Veerayya" of Chiranjeevi, the latter stood up as the winner of this festival season.
It is revealed that Balakrishna's 'Veera Simha Reddy' was pumped heavily by some NRI groups by making bulk ticket bookings to create a premiere record. The truth was out with the second day and third day collections which stood at $39,124 [144 locs] and $68,956 [257 locs] respectively.
On the other hand 'Waltair Veerayya' made $679,036 [316 locs] with premieres while the second day collection was $308,911 [322 locs] which proved to be a genuine hit.
Balakrishna fans are over enthusiastic in sending money to create fake records either for Akhanda or for VeeraSimha Reddy but Chiranjeevi's fans are too lethargic even to spend a small amount USD20000 collectively to make 'Acharya' collections touch USD1 Million (it stopped at around $980K).
The people in the USA are getting shocked looking at the caste fanaticism of Kammas with regard to 'Veera Simha Reddy'. Even the Americans of other ethnic groups are also getting disgusted with Balakrishna fans who are showing their unacceptable behavior in movie theatres.
"The shows were cancelled in some theatres in different places of the USA followed by the public nuisance of the film actor's fans who threw papers and other stuff. It is high time we should stop screening the films of this actor",said the manager of a multiplex in California.
"I observed that the caste mania of Kammas with Balakrishna's films is always high in India and abroad when the state of AP is ruled by a party other than TDP. This speaks about their suffocation for not seeing their community leader heading the state. As a repercussion, the above-mentioned actor Balakrishna, their political leader Chandrababu are getting cornered by the people of other communities", said an NRI who hails from Pune and presently living in Texas.
That is the plight of Balakrishna in the USA today. In case, some screens fail to give permission to Balakrishna's next films in the USA, then only the mindless NRI fans should be blamed.
