Katamarayudu, when it got announced and coming after a disaster like Sardaar Gabbar Singh, was seen as the weakest Pawan Kalyan release in years. Some fans expected the days of Panja release. However, something changed along the way, and it is now turning out to be a Gabbar Singh experience for them.
The advance bookings for Katamarayudu are terrific, and a lot of it has to do with the pre-release function and the theatrical trailer. Both have become a huge talking point, and it helped in developing the much-needed push. The A-centers which was initially thought to be slightly weak, are good, and the smaller centers are terrific.
Lack of any biggie release after the Sankranthi season and Katamarayudu being the first release of the summer is seen as a tremendous boost for the movie. Already two territories are looking at creating the first-day record, before the release itself. The rest of the areas also seem to be onboard. If Nizam too posts top number, Katamarayudu will be a first-day record with a huge margin.
Also, as we previously mentioned, if Katamarayudu manages to create new opening day record, Pawan Kalyan will be the only hero after Chiranjeevi doing so, by breaking Baahubali’s opening. Pawan Kalyan additionally has a chance to break all the areas, depending on Nizam. The expectations so enormous, let us see if Powerstar manages to deliver this time or not.
