Megastar Chiranjeevi’s political drama, GodFather under the direction of Mohan Raja had a theatrical release on October 5th as a Dasara festival special. Opened to positive word of mouth, the film failed to achieve break-even status.
As per the trade reports, GodFather has collected close to Rs 62 crore worldwide share by the end of its full run. Reports suggest that as the film has no dances and comedy track that the audience expect from Chiranjeevi, it failed to attract the general public. Lack of repeat value is also a reason behind the film’s dull show at the ticket windows.
Already news came out that GodFather post-theatrical streaming rights are bagged by digital giant Netflix. Talk among digital circuits is that Netflix management has bagged the streaming rights of GodFather for a whopping of Rs 50 crore. Meanwhile, this afternoon an official announcement came out that GodFather will be ready for digital premieres on November 19th exclusively on Netflix.
