News

By Staff
Maharshi
and
Saaho
rank
at
the
top
among
the
big
releases
of
the
year
so
far.
While
the
Mahesh
Babu
starrer
tasted
success
at
the
box
office,
the
Prabhas
movie
failed
to
rake
in
much
in
AP/TS
regions.
However,
what
left
everyone
startled
was
the
performance
of
these
films
at
the
Ceeded
box
office.
Even
Maharshi,
which
emerged
as
a
hit,
turned
out
to
be
a
loss
venture
at
the
Ceeded
box
office.
Similarly,
Saaho
failed
to
make
any
major
mark
at
the
Ceeded
box
office
after
the
initial
few
days.
Now,
all
eyes
are
on
whether
Sye
Raa,
the
upcoming
film
of
Chiranjeevi,
would
change
this
fortune
or
not.
What
Could
Be
The
Reason?
The
huge
rate
at
which
the
theatrical
rights
are
being
sold
in
Ceeded
regions,
irrespective
of
the
market
that
the
area
holds,
is
considered
as
one
of
the
reasons
by
some,
behind
recent
biggies
turning
out
to
be
loss
ventures
in
Ceeded.
Lesser
Number
Of
Screens
The
lesser
number
of
screens
allotted
to
films
despite
the
huge
theatrical
price
is
considered
as
yet
another
reason
by
a
few.
As
far
as
Maharshi
is
considered,
the
film
had
got
lesser
number
of
theatres,
which
backfired
the
prospects
of
the
film
to
turn
a
profitable
venture.
Maharshi's
Collections
According
to
previous
reports,
Maharshi's
theatrical
rights
for
Ceeded
region
were
sold
for
a
whopping
Rs
12.6
crore.
The
film
had
to
collect
around
Rs
13
crore
to
break-even,
which
turned
out
to
be
a
herculean
task.
Saaho's
Collections
As
far
as
Saaho
is
concerned,
the
film's
Ceeded
rights
were
sold
for
a
whopping
Rs
25
crore.
Reports
suggest
the
film
has
only
managed
to
mint
a
share
of
around
Rs
14
crore
and
is
on
its
way
to
becoming
a
huge
loss
in
Ceeded.
Can
Sye
Raa
Overcome
The
Hurdle?
Well,
Sye
Raa
is
the
next
big
Telugu
movie
to
hit
theatres
and
reports
reveal
that
the
Ceeded
rights
have
been
sold
for
Rs
20
crore.
However,
Sye
Raa
is
expected
to
get
a
huge
release
and
with
good
reviews,
the
film
is
expected
to
achieve
what
Maharshi
and
Saaho
couldn't.
