The super duper commercial successes of ‘Srimanthudu’ and ‘Bahubali’ have put Telugu cinema on a top pedestal making it envious for Bollywood to find a strong competitor in a regional cinema. Telugu Diaspora across the world felt proud for encouraging two really good back to back films. The commercial trade value of Telugu movies is roughly enlarged by 30 percent which means a lot for producers and distributors to head on with new adventures.
Whatsoever, the real winning kick of ‘Srimanthudu, Bahubali’ seems to have got a halt with ‘Kick 2’ released yesterday across the world. Despite a fact to agree that Raviteja isn’t as big star as Mahesh Babu or Rajamouli, revenues from premier shows and opening day of ‘Kick 2’ aren’t on par with above mentioned two hits. In fact, NRIs in other continents are also appearing relaxed waiting for exact mouth talk to spread out. Resultantly, the ‘Kick 2’ Box Office status as of now stands in deep dilemma. The intensity of crowd gatherings for weekend might help analysts to forecast the actual verdict.
Nevertheless, ‘Kick 2’ also has a drawback in promotional lapse with a series of release postponements. Kalyan Ram of course mustered loads of courage for a lavish production budget but at the same time, he pretended to be bankrupt in promoting the film. All in all, Telugu audience got a break to relax from the super duper hit streak. Let us see, how the momentum carries from here on with ‘Rudhramadevi’ and following films.
