Two biggest areas which form a major part of collections for a classy flick have underperformed for Premam. This has resulted in lower collections for the film than what many had expected on the day of its release.
Premam has done decently at best in Nizam and Overseas. In Nizam, it is not going to get into the 7 Cr plus mark which was expected initially. Similarly, in overseas, the film is not going to cross the Million many expected it would, after superb ratings.
The original version’s popularity and Chaitanya’s poor credibility as an actor and star can be seen as the reason for this underperformance. Still, if the film has undercurrent positivity that is not reflected in collections, one can see its impact in the upcoming films of Naga Chaitanya. If that isn’t the case, then Chaitu has to really hope for a true blockbuster movie to post a good final total.
