Nagarjuna is King of Tollywood and one must agree to it. But on Box Office terms, never did he deliver strong movies with Rs. 40+ Crore films which in fact is recorded as achievement to measure the stardom and potentiality of a hero in South cinema. Such huge numbers for a film are possible only with tremendous opening collections which make Mahesh, Pawan, Prabhas, Charan, Bunny, Jr NTR and others stand in different league.
This is the time for veterans like Nagarjuna to prove that they too are nothing less than the youngsters. In same group, Balakrishna is forerunner in this achievement because his ‘Simha, Legend’ easily crossed ultimate Box Office equations piling huge numbers. So, there are no doubts on ‘Dictator’ to account high openings within first week alongside Jr. NTR’s ‘Nannaku Prematho.’
So, the only hero in Pongal race who should worry about the high range in openings is Nagarjuna. It’s time for makers to promote ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ still more aggressively at least from January first week before it gets too late. Humongous opening revenues are the only way to join in Rs.40 and 50 Crore clubs. Hope, Nagarjuna is soon going to achieve this.
