When two big stalwarts like Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are fighting in middle with their respective 150th and 100th films, how good is it for Sharwanand and Dil Raju to get their ‘Shatamanam Bhavathi’ compete with them. Of course, Sharwa’s last Pongal track record of emerging as surprise winner (Express Raja) despite battling with Junior NTR, Balakrishna and Nagarjuna might be the positive sentiment in favor of Dil Raju but this Pongal may not be the same.
Yes, ‘Khaidi No 150’ and ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ are not simple films like ‘Dictator’ or ‘Nannaku Prematho.’ They are made prestigiously with huge budgets. Nevertheless, ‘Shatamanam Bhavathi’ into altogether a gentle, soothing family genre and Dil Raju having a strong hold on theater network are sure to give a positive edge for the movie but equations lot more depend on first day talk for 100th and 150th.
Fortunately if Khaidi and GPSK secure hit to super hit talk right from premier shows, then going may not be as comfortable as expected for ‘Shatamanam Bhavathi.’ We need to wait and see on how things unfold in next one to two weeks?
