Ram Gopal Varma has expressed disappointment that 'Amma Rajyamlo Kadapa Biddalu' had to be released on December 12 and not on November 29. "The 29th of November was a good date for us. Due to some forces, the release of our film was stalled. When it released eventually, there were two other movies in the market," RGV said.

The cribbing is understandable. 'ARKB' has flopped big-time. Released last Thursday, it has got the kind of drubbing the Labour Party got from the Conservatives in the UK elections. No prizes for guessing which 'party' crushed it to a humiliating defeat. It's 'Venky Mama', which came on Friday.

Most of the audience don't watch every movie that releases in a week. They have saved their monies to watch 'Venky Mama', thinking that a troll's film can be watched when it is aired on TV.

RGV must now realize that his films stand a chance only when there is no challenger at the box-office. He should probably have released 'ARKB' on January 1.
