Vishwak Sen’s action drama, Gangs of Godavari, has emerged as a shot in the arm for the Tollywood box office, which saw a string of underperforming movies in May. While the film’s week-long performance suggests there’s room for further growth, its impact on the Telugu film industry is undeniable.

Krishna Chaitanya directed Gangs of Godavari, which was produced by Sithara Entertainment and Fortune Four Cinemas. Neha Shetty, Anjali, and Nassar also star in pivotal roles.

Gangs of Godavari opened with a bang, raking in a healthy 5.2 crore on its first day. This strong debut capitalized on the pre-release buzz and the lack of strong competition in theatres. Unlike the same-day releases – Love Me and Raju Yadav, which failed to capture the audience’s imagination, Gangs of Godavari offered a dose of action...

Three Telugu Theatrical Releases To Explore This Weekend ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb )

Three new films will compete at the Tollywood box office this weekend: Gangs of Godavari, starring Vishwak Sen; Bhaje Vaayu Vegam, starring Kartikeya; and Gam Gam Ganesha, starring Anand Deverakonda.

These releases are crucial for the lead actors striving for success at the Tollywood Box Office. Vishwak Sen aims to enhance his standing as a mass hero with Gangs of Godavari, while Anand Deverakonda seeks to capitalize on his previous hit, Baby, and avoid being labeled a one-hit-wonder. Kartikeya, whose last film, Bedurulanka 2012, had a lukewarm reception, hopes to make a mark with Bhaje Vaayu Vegam and carve out a space for himself in the industry.

All three Tollywood films have been heavily promoted, generating anticipation among audiences. While each film has its own unique appeal, none are expected to overshadow the others completely. Positive word-of-mouth could potentially propel all three to success.
