From the looks of it, the current trend of organizing special shows for stars is not going to stop anytime soon. It first started with Mahesh Babu’s record-breaking Pokiri special shows. Which was then followed by the underwhelming special shows of Chiranjeevi’s Gharana Mogudu.
Then with Jalsa, Pawan Kalyan broke the record of Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri and created a new benchmark. Now Balakrishna’s Chenna Kesava Reddy was re-released amidst massive hype and has failed to break Pawan Kalyan’s record. Although the special shows had a good response, they could not match Pawan Kalyan’s craze and stardom.
It is important to mention however that the special shows of Chenna Kesava Reddy created a storm overseas. It created multiple records, especially in the USA but only managed to stir up a wave in the Telugu states.
The domestic numbers were poor/ordinary at best. The movie is nowhere near Jalsa and Pokiri and it proves yet again that Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan’s craze in AP and Telangana is truly unmatched. Jalsa still holds the record for the most number of shows and numbers for a re-release. We will have to wait a little while longer to see if this record will be broken.
