The Tollywood summer kicked off with Tillu Square, a big hit. But since then, the box office has been quiet. Vijay Devarakonda‘s Family Star and Kona Venkat’s Geethanjali Malli Vachindi failed to impress. Even dubbed movies like Manjummel Boys and DeAr didn’t hit the mark.
May doesn’t look promising either, with big releases like Prabhas‘ Kalki 2898 AD postponed. The first weeks of May were dominated by elections and the Indian Premier League, leaving little room for film releases. Now, with the elections and IPL over, fans are eagerly waiting for a blockbuster.
In this lull, Vishwak Sen’s Gangs of Godavari emerges as a ray of hope. The film, set to release soon, has garnered positive feedback from the censor board. Its trailer and promotions promise an engaging story. Fans are excited, evident from the strong ticket sales on platforms like BookMyShow. There’s a buzz surrounding Gangs of Godavari, suggesting it might be the box office success Tollywood needs.
