Actor Sree Vishnu is currently facing a difficult phase at the box office. His two latest films, Mrithyunjay and Vishnu Vinyasam, have failed to make a strong impact with audiences.
Interestingly, both films were initially scheduled to release on the same date — February 27. However, to avoid a direct clash, the teams made a last-minute change to the release strategy.
Release Strategy That Didn’t Work
Vishnu Vinyasam was released first on February 27, while Mrithyunjay postponed its release to March 6, hoping the gap between the two films would help attract better audience response.
Unfortunately, the strategy did not work as expected. Both films struggled to receive positive reviews and strong word of mouth, which directly impacted their box office performance.
Box Office Numbers
Vishnu Vinyasam Collections: The film collected around ₹9 Cr to ₹10 Cr in its opening weekend — already a weak performance for Sree Vishnu.
Mrithyunjay Shock: Mrithyunjay performed even worse. It collected only ₹5 Cr gross in its first weekend — just 50% of what Vishnu Vinyasam earned.
| Film | Opening Weekend | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Vishnu Vinyasam | ₹9-10 Cr | Weak |
| Mrithyunjay | ₹5 Cr | Disaster |
A Wake-Up Call for Sree Vishnu
These back-to-back box office failures have become a major setback for Sree Vishnu.
The actor has previously proven that he can deliver successful films, but his recent script choices have not connected with audiences. Continuous underperforming films are also slowing his progress toward reaching the next level in his career.
For now, these two films may serve as an important lesson, and fans will be hoping that Sree Vishnu makes a strong comeback with his next project.
