Year 2016 has ended in a positive way. Although awfully bad movie like ‘Intlo Deyyam Nakem Bhayam’ released as last film of this year, another movie that released on the same day ‘Appatlo Okadundevadu’ brought cheers to the industry.
‘Appatlo Okadundevadu’ received unanimous critical praise. 2016 began its success streak with ‘Nenu Sailaja’ that was released on the 1st of January. Total 180 movies were released in the year, up from last year. While the success ratio has not improved much from the last year but the number of hits have increased.
NTR’s ‘Janatha Garage’ is biggest blockbuster of 2016. Second position went to Allu Arjun’s ‘Sarrainodu’. One good trend that 2016 witnessed is many small and good movies became hits too. ‘Pellichoopulu’, a film made with Rs 1.5 Cr budget, took home nearly Rs 15 Cr.
Though this year’s biggest blockbusters had mediocre content, films like ‘Kshanam’, ‘Oopiri’, ‘Pellichoopulu’ and ‘Manamantha’ made the film lovers happy. Overall, 2016 has been a good year for Tollywood.
