In the realm of sequels attempting to recapture the essence of their predecessors, Geethanjali Malli Vachhindhi stands as a poignant example. Released almost a decade after its successful predecessor, Geethanjali, the sequel failed to reignite the same fervor among audiences.
Despite the notable success of Geethanjali in 2014, the return of the franchise fell short of expectations. The promotional efforts failed to generate excitement, leaving many unaware of its release. Consequently, the sequel debuted to dismal reviews and lackluster word of mouth, even amidst the holiday fervor of Ramzan.
With its poor reception and limited chance of recovery, Geethanjali Malli Vachhindhi faces the prospect of becoming a box office disaster. Meanwhile, other recent releases like Tillu Square, Manjummel Boys, and Family Star continue to captivate audiences, further marginalizing the sequel’s appeal.
Among them, Tillu Square has emerged as a runaway success, already surpassing the 100 crores mark and poised to potentially reach 150 crores worldwide. In contrast, Geethanjali Malli Vachhindhi struggles to find its footing, unable to match the enduring appeal of its predecessors or contemporaries.
