Bhairavam, one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year, has opened to disappointing box office collections in the Telugu states. Despite the buzz and hype surrounding the project, the film has failed to make a strong impact with audiences on its opening day.
The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Karthi in the lead role, was expected to ride on the wave of excitement generated by the director’s previous successful ventures. However, early reports suggest that Bhairavam has not lived up to the expectations of the audience and exhibitors alike.
According to industry sources, the opening-day collections of Bhairavam in the Telugu states have been relatively weak, with many theaters reporting lackluster attendance. While the exact figures are still being compiled, it is clear that the film has not managed to generate the kind of box office numbers that were anticipated, especially considering the strong promotional campaign and the popularity of the director.
Analysts suggest that the film’s failure to connect with the audience can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the lack of a strong emotional connect in the narrative, the perceived complexity of the storyline, and the inability to effectively cater to the preferences of the Telugu audience.
Despite the disappointing start, the producers and the filmmakers remain hopeful that the film will find its footing in the coming days and weeks. They are counting on positive word-of-mouth and the potential for the film to gain traction with the audience as it progresses through its theatrical run.
However, the lackluster opening-day performance has already raised concerns among exhibitors and distributors, who are now cautiously optimistic about the film’s long-term prospects. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Bhairavam can overcome its initial setback and emerge as a box office success story or if it will join the growing list of high-profile Telugu films that have failed to live up to their pre-release hype.
