The Family Star Shines Bright with Housefull Shows on Ugadi

Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur’s much-anticipated film, ‘The Family Star,’ hit cinemas worldwide on April 5, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. However, the initial reception at the box office fell short of expectations. Despite the star power and anticipation, the movie faced criticism from critics and relentless trolling, particularly targeting Vijay Deverakonda, which affected its box office performance.

Ugadi Festive Relief: Housefull Shows Bring Hope

The tide turned for ‘The Family Star’ on the auspicious occasion of Ugadi. Across single screens and multiplexes in the Telugu states, the sight of ‘Housefull’ signs adorned ticket counters, signaling a significant turnaround. Reports indicated a staggering sale of over 60,000 tickets on Ugadi, injecting much-needed optimism among exhibitors.

Global Box Office Collection and Future Prospects

Despite its shaky start, ‘The Family Star’ has amassed over Rs 16.50 crore in global gross collections. While the journey to breaking even poses a challenge, the forthcoming Eid holiday and ensuing weekend are expected to draw more family audiences to theaters. Helmed by Parasuram and produced by Dil Raju, the film remains poised for a potential resurgence in the coming days.
