Chiranjeevi’s Godfather is nowhere near Mohan Lal’s Lucifer at the box office

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest film Godfather released on October 5th, which was an official remake Telugu remake of the Malayalam hit Lucifer. The original film, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, starred superstar Mohanlal in the lead role.

The moment it was told that Chiranjeevi is remaking Lucifer, many talks and discussions happened that the decision was right or not. Some people especially on social media felt that the movie doesn’t suit Chiranjeevi’s image and he was unnecessarily doing it.

Even some of the mega fans also opined that Lucifer’s remake is a wrong idea as it doesn’t have the required commercial appeal for a Star like Chiranjeevi. However, Megastar Chiranjeevi went on to remake the film and released Godfather on this Dussera.

During the promotional programs of Godfather, Chiranjeevi said that he didn’t like some of the parts in Lucifer, he felt something is incomplete and hence he made the changes. There were some changes from Lucifer to Godfather which came good like the family angle was made better emotional to suit our Telugu audience.

But despite having good content and even getting positive talk, the Godfather movie has underperformed at the box office. In many areas, the film’s 2 weeks share is less than the day 1 share of previous Chiranjeevi movies like Khaidhi. No.150 and Syeraa Narasimha Reddy. And what more surprising is the Godfather movie collected less than Lucifer.

Lucifer’s worldwide gross is more than 130Cr, Godfather has released in Multiple languages and even if we put together the all languages together gross is also will be less than 100Cr. Normally Telugu market is miles ahead of the Malayalam market still God father failed to beat those numbers at the box office.
