In 2019, they are fighting the same war.
In 2019, the same battle took place. In 2019, Ram Charan, Balakrishna and Venkatesh faced off at the box office. ‘F2’ by Venkatesh, ‘NTR: Kathanayakadu’ by Balakrishna, and ‘Vinaya Vidheya Rama’ by Ram Charan were released. Among these three films, the audience enjoyed “F2,” starring Victory Venkatesh, five years ago. It also achieved significant success at the box office.
Who Will Take First Place at the Sankranti Box Office?
Predicting the winner of this box office clash is no easy task, given the star power, massive fan bases, and unique appeal of each movie. Balakrishna’s ‘Daaku Maharaaj’ is set to resonate strongly with mass audiences, given his proven track record of delivering powerful dialogues and high-voltage action sequences. His collaboration with Bobby Kolli adds a fresh dimension to the film, making it a favourite among traditional Sankranti viewers.
Ram Charan’s ‘Game Changer’ has a broader appeal, combining a socially relevant theme with Shankar’s signature grandiose storytelling. With the actor’s global recognition post-‘RRR,’ the film has an added edge for drawing pan-India and international audiences.
Venkatesh’s ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunam’, on the other hand, is targeting family audiences. Known for his natural flair for humour and heartfelt performances, Venkatesh could dominate the festive holiday mood, offering wholesome entertainment for all age groups.
The deciding factor for the winner will likely hinge on early reviews, word-of-mouth buzz, and how each film delivers on its promises.
