Overseas film business has become a big gamble. While the numbers of NRI patrons visiting theatres for enjoying a movie are coming down with each day, prices of distribution rights for Star Hero projects are continuously increased with each film. This is actually the result of passion mixed with false business calculations of overseas businessmen. It is worth mentioning here that, Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu are the cream heroes who where able to pull a portion of the audience but that formula too failed in case of ‘Komaram Puli’ whereas ‘Khaleja’ was a safe venture.
As the time has come for release of ‘Dookudu,’ unlike our typical domestic common public expectations on a Mahesh Babu’s film, criteria for NRIs change. A film like ‘Khaleja’ which was a failure in Andhra Pradesh is the best grosser last year in overseas. Prince Fans and film distributors in overseas market are anticipating ‘Dookudu’ to be a better film or an equivalent to ‘Khaleja.’ Can Mahesh repeat or show his ‘Khaleja’ again in ‘Dookudu’? Wait and see.
