Telugu Films Hits, Flops List 2019 First Quarter Report 2019

The first three months of 2019 elapsed quickly and let us see Tollywood's first quarter report at the box office. Four top stars tested their luck at the box office. While many films which released amidst huge expectations failed, a film which came to create a laughing riot turned out to be a blockbuster. While one film which came up with an old point turned out to be average, another young hero tasted another disappointment.

January:

The year started off with Balakrishna's NTR biopic first part NTR Kathanayakudu on Jan 9th. However the film failed to live up to the expectations. The film grossed only Rs 38 crs leaving the buyers in huge losses. Ram Charan-Boyapati Srinu came with a mass entertainer Vinaya vidheya Rama. Though the film got a huge negative talk right from the first show, it got average collections with Rs 94 crs gross.

Venkatesh, Varun Tej's multi starrer F2-Fun & Frustration left everyone rolling down with laughter and analysts feel that the film is a blockbuster in medium budget films collecting Rs 114 crs gross.

Nagarjuna's son Akhil who teamed with hit director Venky Atluri of Tholi Prema fame for Mr Majnu disappointed once again with the film collecting only Rs 19 crs gross.

February:

February witnessed political flavor. Former CM YSR's Yatra with Mammootty in lead under Mahvi V Raghav's direction which released on Feb 8th turned out to be an average grosser with Rs 10 crs collections. Small budget film Mithai with Rahul Ramakrishna and Priyadarshi turned out to be a disaster at the box office. NTR biopic's second part NTR Mahanayakudu which released on Feb 22nd turned out to be the biggest disaster leaving all shell-shocked.

March:

Kalyan Ram tested his luck with 118. Though the concept turned out to be routine, the film turned out to be an above average grosser with Rs 14 crs collection. Ram Gopal Varma's controversial film Lakshmi's NTR hit the screens across the world except in Andhra Pradesh amidst huge opposition. The film got stunning openings but slow pace narration and over dramatization disappointed the viewers. 

Niharika's Suryakantham which highlighted the thought process of a young woman, failed to attract movie lovers. Others like Where is Venkatalakshmi, Cheekati Gadilo Chitakkottudu, Jessie though generated interest with their teasers and trailers, failed to bring movie lovers to theatres.
