Ugram releasing in theatres with lowest ticket prices

0

Allari Naresh’s Ugram is all set to release tomorrow and the unit is trying their best to come up with unique promotional ideas for the film. The action thriller has already created good curiosity amongst the audience due to Allari Naresh’s surprisingly violent characterization. Adding to this, several Tollywood young heroes like Nikhil, Adivi Sesh, Vishwak Sen, etc have joined in promoting the film leading to positive reactions from the audience.

The makers of Ugram have decided to slash the movie ticket prices in multiplexes and single screens across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. This move is expected to benefit the film and if Ugram receives strong word of mouth then it would definitely be unstoppable due to the low rates.

Interestingly, Suhas’ Writer Padmabhushan also took the same route earlier this year. The film went on to become a box office success and was able to draw great crowds due to low ticket rates.

At a time when big movies are opting for government permissions for ticket rate hikes, the smaller films are doing the exact opposite and cashing in on the audience’s love. Ugram makers are hoping that the same result repeats here as well. Directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, the film also stars Mirna Menon in lead opposite Allari Naresh.

Needless to say that this trailer will be the most crucial promotional content for the film because it decides the openings and craze of the film. The theatrical trailer of Adipurush will have to give a magical impact to raise the surrounding buzz.

At first, Adipurush unit had faced a lot of criticism for the poor VFX in the teaser, which resulted in the hype around the movie getting derailed. However, the team has slowly created a positive buzz for the film in the recent characters.

Audience are not falling into the trap of big-budget films

Big-budget films are often known to make big waves and create a lot of publicity before their release. Even their theatrical releases are planned on a grand scale leading to mass euphoria. The craze for these big-budget films is, however, dwindling and the audience are not bothered anymore about the budget and scale of the movies.

Normally, industry directors and producers think the audience will show interest in big-budget films and for this reason, they overhype the budget before release. The statements like the film having record budget film for a hero or director are not working anymore. Now audience are not falling into this trap they are more interested in content-based projects and not how many crores are invested in them.

The best example of this is the recent April Tollywood releases. In April, both Samantha’s Shaakuntalam and Akhil’s Agent were promoted as big-budget films with eye-catching VFX and stylish action sequences as USPs. The makers even officially declared that the budget of these films was more than 80Cr. Incidentally, both films failed to get even decent openings and ended up with single-digit shares.

It is very well known to everyone that Akhil Akkineni’s Agent, directed by Surender Reddy, has turned out to be a massive failure.

Even the producer of the film, Anil Sunkara, apologized to the fans for the result of the film.

Before the release of Agent, Akhil Akkineni’s next film was expected to start very quickly but now it is being said that he is set to take a long break for sometime and then plan the next project. Even after getting continuous failures still there is a good demand for Akhil in directors and producers but as of now he does not want to meet the people for some time and does not want to give commitment for any movie.

The decision of Akhil is being appreciated by some of his fans while some are saying that it is not a good decision to take and giving break for movies at this moment may prove costly for him. But sometimes it is good to take a break for few days when you are in a bit of confusion and find the right rhythm to get back on to the work.

Sakshi Vaidya played the female lead in the Agent movie. Hip Hop Tamizha composed the tunes. Bollywood actor Dino Morea played the antagonist. Urvasi Rautela sizzled in a special song. Produced under the banners of AK Entertainments and Surender 2 Cinema, the film’s story is penned by Vakkantham Vamsi.

The movie tells us the story of Ricky (Akhil), who is very passionate and a wild spirit who wants to be a raw agent from childhood due to an incident. Mahadev (Mammootty) scouts and takes Ricky under his wing and handpick him to get the best of a rogue ex-agent Devil (Dino Morea). A straightforward mission goes haywire and Ricky is now the target. How Ricky solves this problem and how he serves his nation is what the story is all about.
