Dhanush’s NEEK featuring a young cast received good reviews and word of mouth. Unfortunately, this film was a box-office failure due to competition with Dragon which emerged as a massive blockbuster.
NEEK arrived on OTT recently and after its release on Prime Video it got a great response and most of the people felt it was very good rom com entertainer like Premalu.
Premalu sequel has already been announced and it’s going on sets later this year. In NEEK Dhanush did not complete the film and gave a lead to second part. Had the film worked at Box office, a sequel would have definitely happened. But the box office failure of the film has raised some questions.
On the other hand, the romantic comedy received love from audience. The decision to give a lead to sequel was a blind bet. It can now either be a jackpot or bomb again at Box office. It needs to be seen whether Dhanush takes this gamble or not.
