Last Friday, a small-budget, content-driven film struck gold at the box office, while a star-led movie failed to make an impact.
Kiran Abbavaram's Dilruba turned out to be a complete flop, whereas Priyadarshi's Court emerged as a surprise hit.
Now, the question on everyone’s mind is: will Saptagiri enjoy similar luck this weekend?
Several films are releasing this weekend, including Artiste, Tuk Tuk, Pelli Kaani Prasad, Shanmukha, and others. However, among them, only Pelli Kaani Prasad has managed to garner some attention.
Saptagiri, the comedian-turned-lead actor, is pinning his hopes on this film, hoping it replicates the success of Court.
He hasn’t had much success in recent times, and, in general, films led by comedians have seen underwhelming results lately.
With comedians losing their once-strong popularity, Saptagiri is counting on this project to turn things around for him.
With limited competition, the film might have an edge at the box office. However, its fate ultimately hinges on word-of-mouth and critical reception.
