For the past three months, nothing seemed to go right for Telugu film industry. Most of the film hardly made an impact and some of the films turned out to be major disappointments. However, it all changed on September 23 when Mahesh Babu’s Dookudu hit the screens. The film registered record openings, right from day one and went on to several records at several centres. So far, the producers claim that the film has grossed Rs 70 crores which is humungous and it’s by far the biggest hit for Mahesh Babu. On October 5th, the first look of Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film Panjaa was revealed and so impressed were Pawan Kalyan’s fans that they couldn’t stop going gaga over the actor’s brand new look.
The beefed up body and the beard seemed to have hit the right chord and all eyes will be on the film’s trailer which is expected to be aired on Diwali. A day later, on October 6th, NTR’s Oosaravelli had released in record number of theatres across the state and the US. As is the case with other NTR’s films, the openings were phenomenal. The film collected Rs 15.75 crores on day 1 as per the producer and it’s the best opening ever in a single day in Telugu cinema. These three films seem to have lifted the spirits of everyone in the film industry and also the audience. With several big budget films and big stars’ films lined up for releas over the next few weeks, it certainly looks like Telugu film industry can expect the good run to continue in the near future as well.
