April is normally considered the best month for movies, but this year, it has seen the worst occupancy in theaters. The theaters’ owners had high hopes for the latest releases, Odela 2, a sequel to Odela, and Kalyanram’s Arjun Son Of Vyjayanthi, but both failed to impress at the box office.

Both films were expected to perform big on the weekend, but shockingly, they did not see a notable performance, continuing the disastrous phase for theaters.
