Winning the trust of critics and reviewers is different from winning the trust of common audience. In fact, commercial success is more calculated on popular people’s verdict and not the other way.
Every time when a standard template based regular mass masala flick is released, obviously ratings from critics are very low and some even pan the director, hero as rubbish. Apparently, same has been the case with Allu Arjun for his two back to back films.
While Sarrainodu is rated as a washout film, it went on raking huge moolah at Box Office and stood as one of the highest grossing Telugu films in history. Now, Bunny’s new flick DJ Duvvada Jagnnadham opened to mixed talk on day one but created mammoth day 1 openings record and early reports suggest on a similar trend continued on day 2.
Though, it is too early to speculate on overall DJ potential but for sure an extended weekend with Eid holiday on Monday will add more to the numbers. If the similar trend continues, DJ might evolve as top one film for Allu Arjun rehashing the same Box Office verdict of Sarrainodu.
