January 2018 A Big disaster in Telugu Film Industry
Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Trade experts and film analysts hoped that Tollywood’s New Year would start with a bang. Given the line-up of films; Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi, Balakrishna’s Jai Simha and Anushka’s Bhaagamathie, everything expected January 2018 to be memorable like January 2017. Last year, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No. 150 and Balakrishna’s Gautamiputra gave Tollywood the best start in along time.
This year, things have been completely on the flipside. Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi remained as the biggest disaster in Telugu Film Industry in recent times. Similarly, Jai Simha turned out to be a below par film. Though the film saved its producer, it did not achieve the ‘hit’ status. The last big-ticket film is Anushka’s Bhaagamathie.
After seeing disaster with Agnyaathavaasi, and underperformance of Jai Simha, Telugu audience hoped that Bhaagamathie will come to rescue. Eventually, Bhaagamathie too disappointed. The film did not live up to its expectations. It failed to repeat the magic of Arundhati. The spectacular grandeur in the film and Anushka’s brilliant performance were far too high for the director to match with. The weak screenplay meant the film remained as an average.
Despite a month into the new year, and three big-ticket films releasing, Tollywood is yet to taste its real success! Let us hope for the best!
