Chennai: Recent Kollywood releases that also got a release in Tollywood failed to perform at Box-Office, but Telugu movies that got a Tamil version are excellent in performance.
Recently Tollywood movies like Mahesh Babu’s ‘Srimanthudu’ got and Ram Charan’s ‘Bruce Lee 2’ were released as bi-lingual. Both got released in Tamil and Telugu on same day. ‘Srimanthudu’ was a huge success. ‘Bruce Lee’ will release this Friday.
But when it comes to Tamil, the movie gets delayed release in few projects and this has affected trade as the movie gets poor response from Telugu audience initially. Let’s see upcoming movies which were released in Telugu and are likely to get a release in Tamil.
Rudhramadevi
Rudhramadevi featuring Anushka Shetty got a release in Telugu last Friday and the response has been poor. The makers are worried as this might play spoil sport in Box-Office collections as Tamil version will release a tad later. At the same time, the release of Bruce Lee will also affect the movie.
Tamizh Selvanum Thaniyaar Anjalum
Gautam Menon funded this project and the Telugu version was released last month. Nithin and Yami Gautam did lead roles. However the Tamil version is yet to get a release and the makers are hoping for a comeback in Tamil version. The telugu version was titled as ‘Courier Boy Kalyan’.
Making bi-linguals is easy, but the makers should realize that releasing it on time on both the language is crucial as if even one version fails to get a release on time, the movie will fail to hit the bull’s eye.
