It's
an
open
secret
that
the
much-loved
Sudeep
is
one
of
the
biggest
and
most
popular
names
in
the
Kannada
film
industry.
Fondly
referred
to
as
'Abhinay
Chakravarthy',
the
star
enjoys
a
strong
fan
following
thanks
to
his
stunning
screen
presence,
good
looks
and
gripping
performances.
A
veteran
in
his
own
right,
Deepanna
is
a
self-made
star
in
the
truest
sense
and
this
has
helped
him
even
more
popular.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
release
The
Villain.
The
Prem
directorial
hit
the
screens
on
October
18,
2018
and
opened
to
a
solid
response
at
the
Karnataka
Box
Office.
Now,
10
days
after
its
release,
The
Villain
is
still
going
strong
at
the
ticket
window.
Here's
the
latest
update.
Day
10
Collections
According
to
the
latest
reports,
The
Villain
collected
nearly
Rs
3
Crore
at
the
Karnataka
box
office
on
Saturday(October
28,
2018)
and
remained
the
top
choice
of
the
fans.
The
film
had
slowed
down
a
bit
during
the
weekdays.
However,
now
it
seems
to
be
back
on
track.
The
Stakes
Are
High
The
Villain
is
one
of
the
most
ambitious
Kannada
films
in
the
recent
times
and
it
has
been
released
across
500
screens
in
Karnataka
alone.
Moreover,
it
has
been
shot
against
a
budget
of
Rs
60
Crore.As
such,
The
Villain
is
a
pretty
high
profile
affair.
It
needs
to
do
good
business
in
the
coming
days
as
well
in
order
to
emerge
as
a
hit
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
general
feeling
is
that
The
Villain
is
a
pretty
decent
film
that
does
full
justice
to
Sudeep's
image
as
a
‘Mass
Hero'.
However,
at
the
same
time,
Shivarajkumar
fans
are
quite
unhappy
about
the
affair.
They
feel
that
he
has
a
shorter
role
when
compared
to
'Kichha'.
Moreover,
some
critics
have
also
complained
that
the
screenplay
is
a
bit
'illogical' and
comes
across
as
less
than
impressive.
All
in
all,
the
WOM
is
a
bit
mixed.
And,
needless
to
say,
this
might
bbe
a
problem
for
The
Villain
in
the
coming
days.
Sudeep-SRK
Magic
Holds
The
Key
For
The
Villain
The
Villain
will
have
to
rely
on
Sudeep
and
Shivanna's
stardom
in
order
to
overcome
the
mixed
WOM
and
continue
its
dream
run
at
the
box
office.
And,
as
both
these
men
are
extremely
popular,
this
might
not
be
much
of
a
problem.
Enough
said!
