Despite its promising combination of talents, including director Venky Atluri, known for the recent success of Sir, and Dulquer Salmaan, who gained acclaim with Sita Ramam, Lucky Bhaskar has surprisingly struggled to generate strong pre-release excitement among audiences. Promotional material, including trailers and songs, has not significantly impacted viewers, leading to slower-than-expected advance bookings and internal business figures.
However, the team behind Lucky Bhaskar remains optimistic. Positive reports within industry circles have fueled confidence in the film’s content, and the team is planning an extensive round of premiere screenings on Wednesday night across various locations in the Telugu-speaking regions. Given the mixed reception to promotional efforts, strong word-of-mouth from these early screenings will be crucial in building momentum.
Set to release in multiple languages, Lucky Bhaskar has been rated U/A, with a runtime of around 150 minutes. The film centers on a cash-strapped bank cashier who, in a desperate attempt to improve his finances, becomes entangled in the high-stakes world of money laundering. This unique storyline promises to deliver suspense and drama as the protagonist navigates the complexities of illegal finance.
With positive early reviews, Lucky Bhaskar could overcome initial setbacks and establish itself as a success. All eyes are now on the premiere screenings, as favorable word-of-mouth could be the boost needed to attract a wider audience.
