'HGPK': Overturns dull expectations, does well

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,October 22 2018]

'Hello Guru Prema Kosame', starring Ram Pothineni, has amassed a distributor share of Rs. 14 Cr (worldwide) as of the end of Sunday. This 4-day figure is the best that a Ram movie has netted at the box-office.

For the film to do this well despite discouraging reviews and mixed talk is interesting. Clearly, the timing of the release has played a big role. This is despite 'Aravindha Sametha Veera Raghava' continuing to post nice figures. 'Pandem Kodi-2' too is holding well. So, simultaneously, three movies are doing fine at the box-office.

The scenes involving Prakash Raj and Ram are getting expected response, the makers feel. For director Trinadha Rao Nakkina, this is one more feature in the cap. Ram and Anupama, who delivered duds in a row, have a shot in the arm.
