Gopichand’s Seetimaar is the winner of the Telugu film industry this Vinayaka Chavithi at least in terms of openings. While it is not easy to anticipate the film’s full run, the movie has brought cheer on the faces of the trade. This is the boost that is needed to the trade after the second wave.
Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya’s Love Story was supposed to release on the same day but backed out fearing competition from Tuck Jagadish which has released on Amazon Prime Video. But then, the makers of Love Story will regret missing this opportunity for a long time.
The Vinayaka Chaviti holiday advantage is clearly seen for Seetimaar. Love Story has decent buzz in the audience thanks to Naga Chaitanya’s form, Sai Pallavi, and Sekhar Kammula. A couple of songs have already worked big time. So, the festival advantage would have been even better.
Thus, Love Story missed a big opportunity. The movie is now announced for September 24th release. The date has no other advantage due to holidays etc.
