Yesterday’s (Friday) releases like “Honeymoon Express” and Varun Sandesh’s “Ninda” failed to make an impact, leaving the Telugu Film Industry disappointed once again.
With “Kalki 2898 AD” scheduled for release next week (June 27), no major films have filled the gap, leaving room for smaller films to try their luck. However, none of these smaller films succeeded. Here comes the hero of the hour.
Amidst this dry spell, Vijay Sethupathi’s latest movie “Maharaja” has emerged as a savior for Telugu theaters, providing a much-needed boost at the box office. The crime thriller, released on June 14th, has been gaining momentum steadily, with increasing audience numbers over the weekend.
This timely success has brought relief to Telugu theaters, which were struggling with a lack of successful releases. On Saturday, “Maharaja” drew more viewers than all other films combined at the Telugu box office.
“Maharaja” has become a blockbuster in the Telugu states, securing its place in the safe zone within its first week. The film has surpassed the 50-crore mark worldwide, with a significant portion of its earnings coming from Telugu-speaking regions.
