Taking into consideration the negative and divided reviews earned by Vikram and Shankar combination ‘I,’ trade circuits are clearly forecasting a revival of collections for Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh starring ‘Gopala Gopala.’ In fact, there were sky high expectations built on ‘I’ because of the magnanimous budget and the variety of getups Vikram wore along with the brand value of Shankar which is forever growing high.
Finally, when critics and reviewers wiped off the film as un-noteworthy; ‘I’ fell flat on nose from the peak. As it is festive season, theatres will be full as audience run for entertainment. Although collections are super strong in both the Telugu speaking areas, how far ‘I’ can retain to the same magic is doubtful. In contrast, ‘Gopala Gopala’ being a clean and neat family entertainer, trade circles are calling it as a winner all the way.
