Dandupalyam, the film dubbed from Kannada, has been received well across the State. Producer Venkat says that many had told him that Kannada movies do not enjoy good market, but the film's openings (it released on Jan 25) have left the producer himself, the distributors quite happy.

He was pleasantly surprised to know that the film ran to packed houses on day one, even though there is no star cast to support its publicity.

Director Srinivasa Raju says that while the impression before its release was that it is a crime film, people are loving it after watching it. Dandupalyam-2 will be made soon.

BA Raju said that the film is running to packed houses in the 85 theatres in which it has been released. The Kannada version had collected a whopping Rs. 25 cr.
