Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Godfather released last week with mostly positive reviews and appreciation for Chiranjeevi’s and Satyadev’s performance. Mega fans had set heavy expectations for the film but the movie failed to open to big numbers and this political drama failed to take advantage of the festive season.
Godfather failed to jump on weekends and the collections are lower than day2 collections. Overall the movie’s Telugu version share is close to 45Cr which is very very disappointing. 45Cr share for a 5 days weekend with Festival advantage is disastrous. The numbers are very poor and looking at the trend, the movie is on course to fall way short of the breakeven mark. The theatricals are valued at 80Cr.
Mohan Raja has directed this remake of the Malayalam blockbuster ‘Lucifer’. The original starred Mohanlal and Prithviraj played a cameo. Nayantara is in a key role alongside Satyadev and Malayalam actor Indrajith Sukumaran. Salman Khan is playing an extended cameo in this project.
After the debacle of Acharya, Chiranjeevi pinned a lot of hopes on this political drama. As admitted by himself during promotions, Godfather is a more commercialized version of Mohanlal’s Malayalam Blockbuster ‘Lucifer’.
