Indeed Ramcharan's 'Naayak' released 48 hours early than Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh's 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' has got positive reviews and good ratings from critics. Openly speaking, 'Naayak' is right ingredient mixed in right proportions needed for a formula Telugu mass masala action film. That is why, neither there was complete disappointment nor total satisfaction. Yet, a Mega film with such content is more than enough to bring celebrations mood for distirbutors and exhibitors.
In contrast, Mahesh Babu's SVSC has completely outsmarted 'Naayak' in metros and overseas. Our trade sources say that, this is right example to show on how high Mahesh Babu Mania is flying now. For the moment, 'Naayak' has taken a backseat in collections just due to the alone factor of Mahesh. Pongal in overseas is a single sided show of SVSC.
