Gopichand,
one
of
the
most
talented
actors
of
Telugu
cinema
can
get
along
effortlessly
in
both
hero
and
negative
roles.
He
is
indeed
a
powerhouse
of
talent
who
has
proved
his
ability
with
his
varied
acting
skills.
However,
the
actor
is
yet
to
get
his
due
in
the
industry
as
he
is
being
eluded
of
a
solid
script
and
a
resounding
hit.
The
38-year-old
actor
is
not
being
pampered
with
good
box-office
results
and
audience
reception,
off
late
and
the
box
office
performances
of
his
previous
two
movies
are
the
testimonials
of
the
same.
Gautham
Nanda
Lot
of
hopes
and
expectations
were
pinned
up
on
his
venture,
Gautham
Nanda.
The
movie
had
a
good
positive
word
of
mouth
before
its
release,
as
the
posters
and
theatrical
trailer
of
the
movie
were
indeed
impressive.
The
movie
had
made
quite
a
handsome
pre-release
theatrical
business
of
over
21
Crores
which
was
indeed
big
considering
Gopichand's
star
power
and
box
office
pull.
But
negative
feedback
and
flaws
in
the
screenplay
did
it
in
for
the
movie
as
the
same
ended
up
as
a
double
disaster
with
just
over
11
Crores
theatrical
share
into
its
kitty.
Oxygen
The
handsome
hunk
had
pinned
his
hopes
on
Oxygen,
his
subsequent
movie
post
Gautham
Nanda,
which
had
hit
the
screens
on
December
1st.
Though
its
final
result
at
the
box
office
would
be
determined
in
the
following
weeks,
the
result
might
not
be
too
favorable
as
the
word
of
mouth
from
the
public
and
the
critics
review
are
on
the
negative
side.
The
movie
falls
flat
and
is
predictable
all
over.
Though
the
movie
is
power
packed
with
an
ensemble
cast,
the
storyline
and
the
technical
aspects
of
the
movie
don't
compliment
them
and
eventually
fails
in
sustaining
the
momentum.
All
said
and
done,
all
eyes
now
will
be
titled
towards
his
next
movie,
Aaradugula
Bullet.
The
movie
appears
terrific
on
papers
as
the
star
names
which
are
featuring
in
the
casting
and
technical
departments
command
a
great
track
record.
The
story
and
screenplay
is
being
penned
by
Vakkanantham
Vamsi,
a
skillful
writer
who
has
been
a
prime
factor
in
churning
out
blockbusters
for
stars
like
Pawan
Kalyan,
Mahesh
Babu,
Jr.
NTR,
Allu
Arjun
and
Ram
Charan.
Possible
Break-through
B.
Gopal,
director
of
Industry
hit
movies
like
Indra,
Samarasimha
Reddy
and
Narasimha
Naidu,
will
be
wielding
the
microphone
for
this
movie
while
the
king
of
background
music,
Manisharma
will
be
composing
music
for
this
venture.
Southern
Siren
Nayanthara
will
be
romancing
the
Action
Star
in
the
movie.
Wish
Gopichand
rise
back
like
a
phoenix
with
Aaradugula
Bullet.
