The duo earlier worked for Geetha Govindam which became a sensational blockbuster. It cemented the position of Vijay Deverakonda as a leading Star and he never looked back. Fans and Audiences got excited when the United again for Family Star. Now the question is, Can Family Star beat both Geetha Govindam and recent sensation Tillu Square?

Geetha Govindam as said managed to receive great reviews and grossed nearly 130 crores worldwide. This was a sensational number for any medium-range film then. The chemistry between lead pair Vijay and Rashmika, Songs, and Family emotions impressed everyone. On the other hand, Tillu Square which released recently achieved a unanimous positive response and is currently on its way to grossing more than 100 crores worldwide. It has already crossed 85 crores mark. It may well stand next to Geetha Govindam by the end of next weekend or Summer.

Family Star needs to produce great reviews and mouth talk from the audience to first beat Tillu Square which is having a dream run at the Box office.

If it gets positive talk, it could easily beat Tillu Square. It would be interesting if it surpasses Geetha Govindam which set a benchmark for Vijay Deverakonda and P. Parasuram.
