The competition for screens during the festive season is a pretty common one. Every year for Sankranti, we see some biggies along with some mid-range Telugu films which are also joined by some Tamil dubbed films which usually fade away in comparison to Tollywood biggies. While this trend is being repeated for Sankranti 2024, Dussehra 2023 will present a stark contrast.
This has been a concern for a long time for us normally. If we consider the Tamil market, Telugu dubbed films rarely work well during the festive season but Tamil dubbed films in the Telugu market are received quite well almost always. And if the content of that Tamil film is better as we saw in the recent case of Jailer and Bhola Shankar, the dubbed version will even outright dominate the local film.
After Rajini’s Jailer, Vijay’s Leo is gearing up to repeat something similar. It is releasing with two straight Telugu releases -Bhagavanth Kesari and Tiger Nageswara Rao. In this competition, Leo is holding a good number of theatres thanks to the brand Lokesh Kanagaraj.
All of Lokesh’s previous films such as Kaithi, Master and Vikram performed wonderfully in Telugu states. Vijay’s Leo is expected to perform well if inside reports are to be believed. This will be an interesting battle where a Tamil movie has a better buzz than Telugu ones in Telugu states. Now all eyes are on next weekend when these three films will hit the screens.
