In a town where majority of population belongs to the caste of Varma/Rajus, automatically there will be lavish spending on a film ticket where in hero belongs to their caste. An unprecedented phenomenon is witnessed in the royal town of Bhimavaram in West Godavari district with the spectacular release of ‘Bahubali’ on July 10th.
Although, there are no benefit show reports from this Kapu and Raju dominated town, we are informed by our close sources that as good as 100 shows will be screened in Bhimavaram on day one. As if these many numbers of shows are insufficient, there is huge lobbying for tickets and special black ticket prices lying in market are varying from Rs.2000 to Rs.5000. Some say that, official ticket prices are kept at Rs.500 in some theaters.
Off the record, where will ‘Bahubali’ land in first day and first week records of Tollywood if the same craze continues throughout? Well, that’s the craze of a Telugu film. Feel proud that ‘Bahubali’ is a Telugu film from our own Telugu director.
