Venkatesh and Maruthi combination ‘Babu Bangaram’ released on Friday was opened to mind blowing day 1 collections. The only worrying factor was the divided talk generated on day 1 which went against Maruthi and producers assumptions. While the makers were already on the work to control this negative spread, they were also feared on how far Sai Dharam Tej ‘Thikka’ would affect their fortunes?
Definitely, Maruthi and Venky will be thanking their fortunes because ‘Thikka’ got much more negative talk than what was seen for ‘Babu Bangaram.’ Directly or indirectly, all this is going to lead for a big leap of advantage for Venkatesh to rule the crowds at ticket windows. Apparently, makers have hiked the publicity programs and Venky is personally appearing on few TV channels participating in promotional events along with Maruthi.
‘Babu Bangaram’ might not have reached our expectations but it is considered as a better classic relative to ‘Thikka.’ With back to back holidays rolling till Monday, we need to wait and see for the final revenue figures?
