Nara Rohith Faces Shocking Rejection

0

Nara Rohith expected his latest film, Sundarakanda, to give him a big break. However, despite getting positive feedback, the actor faces a shocking rejection with the film.

Before the film’s release, many factors helped it, as almost War 2 and Coolie had ended their run in Telugu, and Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara was also postponed from Vinayaka Chaviti.

Box Office: Shocking Result For Nara Rohith’s Sundarakanda

With so many good factors, Sundarakanda was released in theaters on Vinayaka Chaviti, and the paid premieres resulted in good reviews and WOM. But still audiences did not turn out to theaters to watch the film.

The Telugu cinephiles choose Kotha Lokah, which is a Malayalam dubbed film, as a better option than Nara Rohith’s Sundarakanda.

This is definitely a big setback for the actor. His previous films’ results and his gap between films have played a big role for audiences not coming to watch his film. Nara Rohit needs to analyze all these things and should come up with a better makeover and continuous good films to stabilize his market.

Mohanlal came up with Hridayapoorvam this Onam, after two back-to-back blockbusters, Empuran and Thudaram. Hridayapoorvam posts good numbers on its first weekend at the box office.

Even though the film had a tough competitor in the form of Lokah, which received super positive talk and big craze after the release. Hridayapoorvam succeeded in posting good numbers at the box office with the help of Mohanlal’s stardom.

The film has collected close to 35 Cr gross on the opening weekend, and for its genre/budget, it is definitely a good collection. The film needs to maintain the same momentum on weekdays and should target 70 Cr+ in its full run.

Mohanlal is having a very good year with 2025, as Empuraan, though it received mixed talk, managed to score an industry hit. Another release, Thudarum, put up big benchmarks and became a massive blockbuster, and now Hridayapooravam is also emerging as a success.
