Our mass heroes have built strong territories of their own in different regions of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. For example, Nizam is the favorite fort for Mega family heroes where collections frequently break the top most records. At the same time, Ceded is the fancy area for Nandamuri heroes. Their movies show a record run irrespective of the final result in this terrain. However, there is a possibility of both Mega and Nandamuri heroes proving to be a strong BO contenders in all the areas, if their movies open to stupendous opening day positive talks.
For Balayya's new release of 'NBK Lion,' his weak zone of Nizam region is proving to be powerless in opening revenues. Of course, buyers in this area never risk on high amounts when it comes to NBK films. Despite all the odds, 'Lion' is sold for a solid price where as shares are not so promising in last four days. A share of meager 2.92 Crores is reported which is almost equal to Mega family movie's first day share. Never to deny a fact, both 'Simha' and 'Legend' proved to awesome starters in the same Nizam.
Everything depends on strength in combinations and the kind of script they have adopted. 'Lion' isn't a bad story either. Problem lied with inexperience of debutant director Sathya Deva and mistakes rolled one by one to damage the film in whole. Hope, Balayya Babu recovers not only in Nizam but also in all other areas by the time his new flick 'Dictator' releases.
