“Saleem” suffers with no full houses.

The much awaited and well sought movie of this week “Saleem” has began the journey on a very bad note. With on going agitation and violence in Telangana, Andhra and Rayalaseema areas, it is a known fact that movie collections are consistently showing the down fall.

Many trade pundits have expected that, there will be at least one reason to smile with new releases “Saleem” and “Katha.” With “Katha” already thought of being not an Universal entertainer, many kept hopes on “Saleem.”

It is heard from many places that, “Saleem” was not even running to full houses on the day of release in many places within the city and peripheral towns. If one reason is the Telangana movement, the other being the negative talk which started to spread like venom from the very matinee show. Many theatres in the city looked with only few a dozen of vehicles parked and theatres looking just a little more than half filled.
