With "Devara" set to ignite the screens on September 27th, the focus shifts towards the lucrative Dussehra holiday season. While Sankranti typically ushers in a wave of big-budget releases, this year's Dussehra seems to be facing a notable absence of major star-powered films.

While Rajinikanth's "Vettayan," a Tamil dub, is poised for release, its success will hinge on the film's reception and potential to capitalize on the festive buzz, similar to "Jailer" or "Lal Salaam."

However, the absence of major Tollywood films featuring top-tier heroes is a cause for concern. The pressure is mounting on the remaining contenders, with fans pinning their hopes on the following releases:

Gopichand's "Viswam": Director Shinu Vaitla's comeback hopes rest heavily on this film, with fans anticipating a return to his signature style.

Sudheer Babu's "Ma Nanna Super Hero": The film has generated positive buzz following the release of its teaser. Its success is crucial to meet expectations and solidify Sudheer Babu's position.

Suhas' "Janaka but Ganaka": This Dil Raju production boasts a tight release schedule, with the film's success crucial for the production house.

Srivishnu's "Swag": This film aims to capitalize on a week-long lead-up to "Devara," banking on its solo release strategy.

Despite these releases, the absence of a major film fronted by a senior or junior tier-1 star hero presents a significant hurdle. The films' potential reach is limited, regardless of their reception. The lack of a large-scale star vehicle could hinder the ability to attract audiences and generate the massive box office numbers that typically mark the Dussehra season.

This unique scenario highlights the fluctuating landscape of Tollywood releases. While the anticipation for "Devara" remains high, the absence of a major star-driven release during Dussehra could affect the overall box office performance of the festive season.
