Can Balayya win Magical Openings?

As per the ruling formula of Tollywood, whatever the collections recorded in opening first week will decide the ultimate result of a film. Applying the same logic, the high budgeted ‘Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara’ will have to rely more on the image of balakrishna rather than Manchu Manoj or Deeksha Seth or Manchu Lakshmi. A simple analysis on market stamina of Manoj compared to the budget invested on this flick, surely there will be a big imbalance which has to be corrected and collected only in the name of Balayya. However, there is also a different version from trade sources. ‘In fact, Balayya’s potential as a magical opener has gone for a severe beating when ‘Parama Veera Chakra, Adhinayakudu’ did not even record 75% of house full collections on first day. ‘Sri Rama Rajyam’ picked up only after positive mouth talk in overseas and domestic market. Going by these calculations, makers of ‘UKUP’ should peg up the promotion else face the humiliation later on,’ said an analyst.

Manchu Lakshmi Gives Relief To Puri Camp

Finally, there is good news for this top director who has forgotten the fact that his product is pending for a release. The news is from Manchu Lakshmi who is all ready to send jitters down the spines of Tollywood with her latest flick.

Due to the non-availability of theatres and 'Eega' effect on audiences, many films have postponed their releases. Among them 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu', 'Julayi' and 'Uh Kodathara Ulikki Padathara' are the biggies. However, UKUP and DCM have decided to come on Aug 2nd and 3rd respectively. To give some breather to Puri Jagan, Manchu Lakshmi has now shifted the release date. Surprisingly she has advanced the release date by a week and the movie is going to hit the marquee on 27th July.

Though DCM is Puri Jagan's venture, Raviteja's poor form and Raghu Kunche's average music haven't created much hype for this flick. On the other hand, Balayya's special role and Manoj's dangerous looks have raised expectations on UKUP. The gap in released dates is nothing but a big relief to Puri camp!
