Dictator, which released in the Pongal race on 14 January garnered mixed reviews from the critics, while the mouth talk has been poor. Nevertheless, the film has got great response in B and C centers so far, which saved the film from deficits during the first weekend.

While Nannaku Prematho clearly ate into Dictator's collections a little, due to the film bad mouth talk, Soggade Chinni Nayana, which released on 15 January, is further troubling the box-office run of Dictator, since Soggade Chinni Nayana received good reviews and great mouth talk and a share of audiences are being redirected, opine the trade analysts.

Dictator must garner about 27 Cr share worldwide to be declared as a hit. Considering that, we can say Dictator had a decent start at the box office. Stay tuned to this space for more box office updates of Pongal releases.
