A
Big
Flop
According
to
reports,
Dear
Comrade
has
ended
its
box
office
run
with
a
worldwide
share
of
Rs
20
crore
and
proved
to
be
a
failure
of
epic
proportions.
The
AP/TS
share
stands
at
merely
Rs
13
crore,
which
many
feel
is
completely
unacceptable
given
Vijay
Deverakonda's
immense
popularity.
Low
Recovery
Dear
Comrade
had
done
a
pre-release
business
of
around
Rs
34
crore
and
become
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons.
As
the
film
has
recovered
merely
63
per
cent
of
the
investment,
several
distributors
have
suffered
big
losses.
Rejected
By
The
Masses
While
Dear
Comrade
did
decent
business
in
the
urban
areas,
it
failed
to
strike
a
chord
with
fans
in
most
B
and
C
centres
where
the
film
proved
to
be
no
match
for
Ram's
iSmart
Shankar.
However,
the
biggest
shock
came
from
Ceded
where
Dear
Comrade
ended
its
run
with
a
paltry
share
of
Rs
1.13
crore.
Vijay
Deverakonda
Deeply
Hurt?
Meanwhile,
Vijay
Deverakonda
is
reportedly
quite
hurt
by
the
Dear
Comrade
debacle.
He
refused
to
interact
with
the
media
during
a
recently-held
event,
which
upset
his
well-wishers.
The
Road
Ahead
Once
Vijay
Deverakonda
gets
over
the
Dear
Comrade
debacle,
he
is
likely
to
turn
his
attention
to
his
film
with
Aishwarya
Rajesh
and
Raashi
Khanna,
tentatively
titled
'Love
Failure'.
The
buzz
is
that
he
might
also
team
up
with
mass
director
Puri
Jagannadh
for
Double
iSmart,
a
sequel
to
iSmart
Shankar.
