Another century
Currently, Bhagwant Kesari is close to reaching the break even mark. According to the latest update, Bhagwant Kesari collected 112.18 crore gross in the first week. Balayya’s momentum is not likely to slow down as no big films are releasing this week.
An emotional drama, Balayya and Srileela were seen as father’s daughters. Kajal also shined in a key role. Similarly, Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal was impressed as the villain. He made his Tollywood entry with Bhagwant Kesari. Sahu Garapati, Harish Peddi, Bhagwant Kesari produced the film under Shine Screens banner. Music provided by SS Thaman.
Three in a row
Balayya has broken a rare record with this movie. His three recent films have grossed more than Rs.100 crores. Balayya’s Akhanda directed by Boyapati Seenu, followed by Veerasimha Reddy directed by Gopichand Malineni, brought in rain at the box office. Now Bhagwant Kesari will also follow the same path.
But compared to those two movies, Balayya Narukudu is a little less. But the momentum at the box office is the same. However, being a sentimental drama, the film was well received by the family audience. With this, Balakrishna received Dussehra bonanza. Bhagwant Kesari had strong competition from the other two films Leo and Tiger Nageswara Rao. But Tiger could not withstand Balayya’s attack in Telugu. Leo, on the other hand, has earned a lot of money in competition with Balayya. But even though Vijay’s movie in Telugu did not have much impact, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction made it strong collections. All in all, both Sankranti and Dussehra have come together for Balayya.
