Veteran
actor
Balakrishna's
magnum
opus
NTR
Kathanayakudu
and
the
Ram
Charan
starrer
Vinaya
Vidheya
Rama
hit
screens
this
January
amidst
much
fanfare.
Unfortunately,
both
of
them
failed
to
live
up
to
expectations.
The
NTR
biopic
never
clicked
with
fans
as
it
featured
no
mass
elements
and
this
resulted
in
it
becoming
a
complete
disaster.
On
the
other
hand,
Vinaya
Vinaya
Rama
opened
on
a
decent
note
before
completely
collapsing
at
the
box
office.
Luckily
for
movie
buffs,
the
Venkatesh
starrer
F2
exceeded
expectations
and
emerged
as
the
perfect
gift
for
the
Sankranthi
season.
Nearly
two
months
after
its
release,
F2
has
ended
its
box
office
run
on
a
terrific
note.
F2
Closing
Collections
F2
managed
to
collect
a
worldwide
share
of
Rs
84.54
crore
and
end
its
run
on
a
terrific
note.
Its'
distributor
share
in
AP
and
TS
is
Rs
67.84
crore,
which
is
a
healthy
figure.
As
the
film
had
done
a
pre-release
business
of
around
Rs
33
crore,
it
has
emerged
as
one
of
the
most
profitable
releases
of
the
year.
Anil
Ravipudi
Proves
His
Mettle
Unlike
the
other
Sankranti
releases,
F2
managed
to
impress
a
vast
section
of
the
audience
with
fans
saying
that
it
featured
a
fun-filled
screenplay
and
some
lively
performances.
Most
people
also
stated
that,
unlike
Vinaya
Vidheya
Rama
and
NTR
Kathanayakudu,
it
did
full
justice
to
the
festive
mood
of
the
Pongal
season.
As
such,
the
WOM
was
positive
from
the
word
go
and
this
helped
it
have
a
long
run
at
the
box
office.

Venkatesh
has
already
turned
his
attention
to
his
next
film
Venky
Mama,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
perfect
mix
of
comedy
and
emotions.
The
multi-starrer
also
features
Naga
Chaitanya
in
the
lead.
On
the
other
hand,
Anil
Ravipudi
is
likely
to
begin
work
on
his
film
with
'Prince' Mahesh
Babu.
