NTR, Bunny Burnt Golden Dates

Ideally, hadn’t it been for the extreme delay, Allu Arjun and NTR would have had theatrical releases already this year. But now, the situation is such that they are yet to arrive at the box office.

Devara was earlier announced for release on the 5th of April and this came with a long weekend advantage. However, the film couldn’t make it on time due to the slow scheduling.

Now, Bunny’s Pushpa 2 must have been released on the 15th of August and made the most of the Independence Day weekend.

Instead, we had Double Ismart and Mr Bachchan which are slow starters. Particularly in Hindi, Stree 2 which released yesterday posted in the vicinity of Rs 50 crore nett in India on the opening day. This is an extraordinary number for a non-superstar film.

Going by the number posted by Stree 2, one can only imaging the havoc Pushpa 2 could have create in Hindi had it released on the 15th of August.

What has essentially happened is that both Tarak and Bunny have burnt the two golden dates of the year and are arriving in a belate manner towards the end of the year.
