The verdict of three out of four Sankranthi movies is out already. Only movie that is still waiting for audiences response is Nagarjuna’s Soggade Chinni Nayana that is releasing today. Nagarjuna has been successful in generating huge buzz for this film. Soggade Chinni Nayana has been grabbing eyeballs ever since the first look was launched.
Expectations on this film have increased by the day and the decision day is finally here. Can Soggade Chinni Nayana live up to the expectations? There is no clear winner among the Sankranthi releases till now. Nannaku Prematho has impressed classes and youth but is not lapped up by masses. Dictator is a routine mass template that could be floating until the festive weekend.
Express Raja is a fine comedy with variety treatment. This too is not receiving unanimous hit talk from all corners. So the true potential of this film will be tested in its full run. With no clear winner until now, Nagarjuna has a great chance to take away the Pongal crown. Buzz around this film is so huge that the advance bookings are in full swing.
With so much hype around the movie, distributors are planning midnight shows and benefit shows in big numbers. All Soggadu needs is decent talk to be the Pongal King.
