Kannada
films
Boss
and
Kanteerava
will
be
hitting
theaters
at
almost
the
same
time
this
month.
With
one
week
gap
between
the
release
dates
of
both,
they
are
set
to
start
a
debate
among
fans
and
audiences
as
to
which
film
will
fare
better
at
the
box
office.
Both
Boss
and
Kanteerava
come
with
a
lot
of
expectations.
It
is
expected
that
both
Boss
and
Kanteerava
will
cash
in
at
the
Friday
box
office,
but
unfortunately
one
film
may
clash
with
the
other,
thus
forcing
the
audience
to
choose
between
the
two.
On
the
other
hand,
Boss
and
Kanteerava
both
may
appeal
to
the
audience"s
tastes.
Boss
has
popular
and
established
names
like
Darshan
and
Raghu
Raj
while
Kanteerava
also
has
the
star
power
of
action
hero
Vijay.
According
to
history
of
films
in
the
Kannada
film
industry,
it
is
always
the
second
film
that
suffers
when
two
equally
popular
films
hit
theaters
back
to
back.
Therefore,
if
this
logic
indeed
comes
into
effect,
Kanteerava
will
fail
to
entertain
the
masses.
However,
it
is
important
to
remember
that
Kanteerava
is
a
remade
version
of
the
blockbuster
film
Simhadri.
While
many
would
argue
that
remakes
in
most
cases
do
not
work,
we
have
to
remember
that
the
producer
in
this
case
is
Ramu
Enterprises,
the
house
which
is
famous
for
producing
the
best
remakes
of
the
Kannada
film
industry.
Boss
has
an
original
storyline,
for
which
the
audience
may
flock
to
theaters,
nevertheless
it
will
be
wrong
to
write
off
Kanteerava.
Therefore
it
is
going
to
be
a
tough
battle
at
the
box
office
over
the
upcoming
two
weekends
in
Kannada
cinema.
