Post RRR, all the equations in Telugu cinema have changed. SS Rajamouli has become the biggest brand or, in other words, the biggest star. And every star worth its salt has entered the 100 Cr club. However, there will always be one exception, and in this case, it is Pawan Kalyan.
We had mentioned previously that Pawan Kalyan and Jr NTR were the only stars to not enter the 100 Cr club before releasing their respective films. We also noted that it is a foregone conclusion that Jr NTR would make it, and Pawan Kalyan needs to make Bheemla Nayak count. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened.
Bheemla Nayak has failed to enter the 100 Cr Share ‘Worldwide’ club. It has collected between 95 Cr to 96 Cr share worldwide and would require extreme ‘technicalities’ to touch the 100 Cr mark. It involves GST or the lack off, and such things are usually a bone of contention. The bottom line is it would be hard to make people believe that Bheemla Nayak has entered the 100 Cr share mark worldwide.
Looking at the prevailing conditions then (in Andhra Pradesh), it would be clear why Bheemla Nayak missed the mark, but one also has to remember that Pushpa crossed the milestone with the same limitations. Bheemla Nayak has underperformed, and it’s a fact that can’t be ignored.
The sad part is that the upcoming films of Pawan Kalyan don’t generate confidence among fans to reach the 100 Cr mark. We also have to see if the next Pawan Kalyan film gets the same benefits as the current movies from the Andhra Pradesh government. Given all these uncertainties, fans of Pawan Kalyan are in for a tough time ahead for some time to come.
