This is the film that decides SDT's fate

Hard truth: Sai Dharam Tej has lost craze. Can he bounce back? Well, it depends on the success of “Inttelligent”, that is hitting the screens tomorrow (Feb 9). On the face of it, the film is not exciting enough as trailers and songs are too clichéd.

Still there is one hope: director Vinayak generally doesn’t go wrong with template mass movies. His movies may not win critical praise but gets moolah at box-office. If Vinayak weaves the magic, SDT may bounce back. Or it will be tough for this “Supreme Star”.

Not that Sai Dharam Teja doesn’t have films on hand but his films will not do the same business henceforth if the latest one also fails to turn a hit. Buyers are already vary of touching his movies. USA distributor recently backed off from releasing ‘Inttelligent’. At eleventh hour, the movie was given to another distributor to save the face. This is SDT’s current situation.
