Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam became the biggest disaster when compared to the Pawan’s Sardaar Gabbar Singh.
Brahmotsavam” opened to a decent response in the premiere shows in the U.S. on Thursday night, but the negative word-of-mouth reviews took a toll on its business on the following days. The Mahesh Babu, Samantha, Kajal and Pranitha starrer received a decent response in the early morning shows. Its occupancy was low compared to that of Prince’s previous releases.
Sardaar Gabbar Singh received negative remarks because of a poor script and weak story whereas Brahmotsavam is receiving negative review because of overloaded emotions, long run time, Mahesh’s dance move, lack of action sequences.
