A
Dull
Start
According
to
the
latest
trade
reports,
NTR
Mahanayakudu's
hourly
gross
at
7
PM
PST
was
merely
USD
74,460
from
97
locations.
At
this
rate,
it
is
unlikely
to
beat
NTR
Kathanayakudu
which
had
grossed
USD
482k
last
month.
It
Had
To
Happen...
The
failure
of
Kathanayakudu
virtually
killed
the
buzz
surrounding
the
sequel.
The
low
pre-release
buzz
and
the
current
political
situation
too
seem
to
have
made
things
even
more
difficult
for
NTR
Mahanayakudu.
The
virtually
non-existent
promotions
too
wrecked
NTR
Mahanayakudu
even
before
its
release.
Lakshmi's
NTR
Overshadows
NTR
Mahanayakudu?
The
trailer
of
Lakshmi's
NTR
released
on
February
14,
2019,
and
became
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons.
The
general
feeling
is
that
the
positive
response
to
the
trailer
of
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
film
made
it
extremely
difficult
for
NTR
Mahanayakudu
to
make
an
impact.
In
fact,
several
fans
even
commented
that
Lakshmi's
NTR
and
not
NTR
Mahanayakudu
was
the
'real
biopic'
of
the
mass
leader.
The
WOM
Is
Decent
Most
critics
are
of
the
opinion
that
NTR
Mahanayakudu
is
a
pretty
decent
film
as
it
features
a
gripping
screenplay
and
some
commendable
performances.
As
such,
the
Word
Of
Mouth
is
above-average
and
this
might
prove
to
be
a
blessing
for
NTR
Mahanayakudu.
The
Way
Ahead...
NTR
Mahanayakudu
needs
to
pick
up
big
time
in
the
coming
days
otherwise
it
will
end
up
being
another
major
embarrassment
to
Nandamuri
fans.
