Suresh Babu : TFI is on a high
By D.Suresh Babu
The
Telugu film industry has been on a high after a long time, with two
recent releases `Dookudu' and `Oosaravelli' doing well. `Dookudu' has
done better than `Magadheera' overseas though it lagged behind a bit in
Nizam and Andhra regions.
With
many schools and colleges closed because of Telangana bandh, more
students flocked to watch `Dookudu'. Many offices also not working due
to the agitation, meant it was an extended Dussehra holiday and
translated into decent collections for the film, especially in the
cities. However, in smaller towns, where filmgoers depend on bus as a
mode of transport, there was a 25-30 per cent dip in collections.
Unlike
last year, where Telangana agitators had prevented the release of
certain films starring particular heroes, this year, fortunately the
industry faced no such problems. That is also because the industry has
not taken any stand, for or against. Also let us remember that even
people in the movement like to watch movies starring these stars.
