The power of star hero will be put to real litmus test when his film having hit the screens secures negative or divided talk from day 1. Reason behind many producers get ready with huge budgets on star heroes is high level security for their investment lying in these heroes and their stardom. For example, Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu’s last two disasters ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ and ‘Brahmotsavam’ were out-rightly killed by critics but these films opened to record revenues in first weekend saving buyers and producers to a large extent. Such is the Box Office competence.
‘Babu Bangaram’ from Venkatesh in Maruthi direction is although made on limited budget, the film received flak from critics failing to fulfill certain expectations. However, the patrons turn out at theaters isn’t much affected by verdict just because of Venkatesh’s image.
Reports say, ‘Babu Bangaram’ collected approximately Rs. 11 Crores till the weekend which is highest ever for a Venkatesh movie. Thanks to audience’s high reliability factor on Venky’s family hero image. Neither Maruthi nor Nayanathara, it’s Venky the real gold of ‘Babu Bangaram.’
