In July, Telugu movie distributors and exhibitors experienced minimal respite. With the exception of the movie “Kalki 2898 AD” starring Prabhas, no other movies were ablet to bring in revenues. All Telugu films released in July performed poorly at the box office.
In August, there will be a surge of movies being released in theaters. Commencing on August 1st, over twelve prominent films arrive in theaters. Each weekend, several films will vie against one another.
In August 2024, the first weekend will witness a competition between Ashwin Babu’s film “Shivam Bhaje” and Allu Sirish’s film “Buddy”. Additionally, Vijay Antony’s dubbed movie “Toofan” will also be released around this time. “Usha Parianayam” by Senior Director K Vijaya Bhaskar competes with these movies.
On August 9th, the film “Committee Kurrollu,” which is bankrolled by Konidela Niharika, will be released in theaters.
However, the true competition takes place on August 15th, Independence Day, with the release of two highly anticipated films starring Ram Pothineni and Ravi Teja. “Mr Bachchan” with Ravi Teja and “Double iSmart” starring Ram Pothineni are scheduled to be released on the same day, and both films carry good expectations. These films have the potential to be successful at the box office. The theaters are anticipating a significant increase in attendance throughout this extended Independence Day weekend.
In addition to these two major films, two concept-based movies, “35 – Chinna Katha Kaadu” (Aug 15) and “Aay” (Aug 16), will also be released during the same weekend.
Vikram’s dubbed film “Thangalan” will also be released on the same day, but, it lacks any significant buzz in the Telugu market.
Following the release of “Mr Bachchan” and “Double iSmart”, another highly anticipated film that is expected to have a huge box office opening is “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram”, starring Nani. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on August 29. Nani has consistently achieved success in generating either hit or above-average movies. His films generate good openings. During the month of August, there will be a maximum amount of activity at ticket windows due to the release of these three movies.
