The latest Re-Release sensation ‘Oye’ generated more bookings on the Valentine’s Day compared to the other latest releases in all south languages. There was a lull period for the re-releases trend after the gigantic success of Businessman last year, with Venky being an exception. But then again with the change of seasons, Oye captured the thunder riding on the Valentine’s wave.
BookMyShow data shows “Oye” soared on Valentine’s Day, with 20k tickets booked in 24 hours, crushing all the latest releases. Raviteja’s “Eagle” managed just 13k, while Rajinikanth’s “Lal Salaam” and “Anweshippin Kandethum” trailed with 8k and 15k bookings respectively. It’s very clear how Oye dominated the latest releases on the Valentine’s day.
It has been a dull month for Tollywood. Things changed drastically for the theatrical business over the pandemic. Audiences have become choosy about how they spend their time. Any film that doesn’t feel fresh or lack a novel factor is barely surviving even with massive promotions or positive talk. Oye came as a glimmer of hope during this lull period. Film collected around 1.5 crores gross worldwide on day 1 of its re-release.
Oye was directed by Anand Ranga, produced by DVV Entertainments. Film stars Sidharth and Shamili in lead roles. Film was re-released Worldwide on the occasion of Valentine’s day.
