After a phenomenal box office showcase by Tollywood in August, there were a lot of hopes at the start of September. Except for Liger, most of the releases in August were blockbusters at the box office, giving a much-needed sigh of relief to distributors and exhibitors.
There were 3 new movies that were released this week. Chiyaan Vikram’s Cobra was released during the Ganesha festival and enjoyed a terrific opening day at the box office. But it failed to create the same momentum in the coming days. Although, the buyers will not be in any major losses due to the lower costs involved.
There were also two Telugu movies that were released with relatively low hype. Vaishnav Tej’s Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga and Anudeep KV’s First Day First Show were released on 2nd September.
Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga opened to very average opening day numbers. The word of mouth around the film quickly spread and the film crashed on the second day. Cobra’s Telugu dubbed version collected more than Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga. It is proving to be a massive loss for buyers. They are expected to lose more than 70% of the money spent.
The next release is Anudeep’s First Day First Show. First Day First Show is a total washout. Overall, this weekend was a disaster for the industry.
