A few years ago, a 100 Cr share was a big benchmark in Telugu Cinema. But the market has expanded post-COVID-19 and ticket prices also continuously increased, now most big films are collecting 100 Cr within the first week, and some big pan India films are even collecting 100 Cr share in 2-3 days itself in the Telugu version. However, the trade is worried seeing the Mega Heroes 100 Cr struggle.
Mega Trio’s Struggle to reach the 100 Crore Milestone
In the last 5 years from 2020 to till date, only a few films of tier-1 heroes failed to collect 100 Cr. In 8 films One is Prabhas’s Radhe Shyam and all the other 7 are films from Mega Family. Even a normal audience would be surprised if he knew the Mega Heroes 100 Cr struggle.
Few films like Bheemla Nayak, and Vakeel Saab were affected by Corona and ticket prices, and elsewhere they could have joined the 100 Cr club easily. The most shocking is Game Changer, the recent big film starring Ram Charan did not cross 100 Cr and finished just around 85 Cr share in Telugu.
A big-budget film like Game Changer should have collected 100 Cr in 3-4 days irrespective of any talk but shockingly, the film failed to meet the expectations at the box office. Even the day-one numbers of the film were not that great. The fans are hoping that Charan will make a massive comeback with RC 16, directed by Buchi Babu.
Most likely from now all big star films are likely to cross 100 Cr share very easily, and coming to mega heroes, Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara has a good chance to gather 100 crores at the box office in the first week as it is a socio-fantasy genre, while release dates of Pawan Kalyan’s films are not guessable right now, because of his political commitments.
