Naga Chaitanya has been criticised by his fans for being able to stand up to the competition like his father Nagarjuna. At his prime, Nagarjuna could give tough fight to Chiranjeevi as well..
Ultimately, Nagarjuna chose to try more versatile films that did harm his box office stamina compared to his peers. He did show to many that his power to attract families and masses hasn’t died down with Soggade Chinni Nayana.
He recently did give a big disaster ever in his career with Officer but recovered slightly with Devdas, in company of Nani.
But Naga Chaitanya after Premam and Rarandoyi Veduka Chuddam which marked his resurgence as an actor and gave him his first solo 22 cr and 28 cr share grossers, respectively. He again fell back into trap of doing bad films and Yuddham Sharanam, Savyasachi couldn’t even collect double digit shares.
Sailaja Reddy Alludu crossed 25 crores mark even though it is regarded as a below average performer. Finally, Naga Chaitanya made his fans happy with Majili.
Movie crossed 22 cr share mark on Tuesday and attained breakeven. It crossed 600k USD mark in US too.
The film is predicted to be his first 40 crores share grosser and solo 1 Million USD film, if second weekend and third weekend don’t bow out to the completion of Chitralahari and Jersey from his contemporaries – Sai Tej and Nani, respectively.
Samantha Akkineni’s presence in the film made family audiences go to the film more as she could find acceptance in the demographic with different successful films like Rangasthalam, Mahanati recently.
