This year saw the releases of 5 Mega films. The only near possible Mega release, Varun Tej’s Maa Amma Seethamahalakshmi, completed its shoot yesterday, but the release date is still tricky as some say that it is set for a December 18th release while many argue that a January 24th release is also on the cards.
Firstly, it was the most popular of all the Mega heroes Powerstar Pawan Kalyan who kickstarted the Mega campaign this year with Gopala Gopala during the Sankranthi season in January. The film opened to rave reviews but the collections dipped drastically and the film ended up as an average venture at the box-office.
Then, Stylish Star Allu Arjun set the summer on fire with his family entertainer S/O Satyamurthy. The film opened to mixed reviews but surprised everyone by collecting huge bucks thanks to the summer advantage. In the end, S/O Satyamurthy ended up as a hit film.
Then came the Mega Menalludu Sai Dharam Tej’s Subramanyam For Sale. The film got Sai the much-needed acclaim as a performer and his dances were also appreciated. Trade wise, SFS was an average venture, due to the high production costs involved.
Recently, Varun Tej’s Kanche released on Dasara and got rave reviews for the film’s emotional content and also Varun Tej’s mature performance. The film is going steady at the box-office and trade analysts are predicting that Kanche willsettle itself in the above average category.
That brings us to the only disaster of all the Mega films, Ram Charan’s Bruce Lee. The film was released with heavy expectations but disappointed the fans bigtime. Incidentally, Bruce Lee also marks the comeback of the one and only Megastar to silver screen. Bruce Lee is the only Mega film that flopped big in 2015, leaving an unforgettable credit to Ram charan.
