Can Balayya win Magical Openings?

As per the ruling formula of Tollywood, whatever the collections recorded in opening first week will decide the ultimate result of a film. Applying the same logic, the high budgeted ‘Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara’ will have to rely more on the image of Balakrishna rather than Manchu Manoj or Deeksha Seth or Manchu Lakshmi. A simple analysis on market stamina of Manoj compared to the budget invested on this flick, surely there will be a big imbalance which has to be corrected and collected only in the name of Balayya.

However, there is also a different version from trade sources. ‘In fact, Balayya’s potential as a magical opener has gone for a severe beating when ‘Parama Veera Chakra, Adhinayakudu’ did not even record 75% of house full collections on first day. ‘Sri Rama Rajyam’ picked up only after positive mouth talk in overseas and domestic market. Going by these calculations, makers of ‘UKUP’ should peg up the promotion else face the humiliation later on,’ said an analyst.
