Weekend Slump: Tollywood Box Office Sees Dull Performance

Summer, typically a thriving season for Telugu cinema, has taken an unexpected turn this year. “Tillu Square” emerges as a colossal blockbuster, surpassing the 100 crores gross mark. However, with two weeks since its release, dwindling occupancies mark a shift in viewer interest.

Vijay Deverakonda’s “The Family Star” faces a rocky reception, marred by mixed to negative reviews from its premiere. Despite initial traction on Ugadi day, the film experiences a steep decline in attendance post-festival, adding another disappointment to the actor’s repertoire.

This week sees the release of multiple films like “Geethanjali Malli Vachindi,” “Love Guru,” “Sriranga Neethulu,” and “DeAr,” yet none manage to captivate audiences, lacking in pre-release buzz.

Even as a sequel, “Geethanjali Malli Vachindi” struggles to leave a mark at the box office, with all new releases of the week teetering towards losses due to lackluster openings. The industry now pins hopes on upcoming releases like “Aa Okkati Adakku” and “Gangs Of Godavari” for potential resurgence.
