A
Good
Start
As
per
initial
trade
estimates,
Oh
Baby
opened
to
a
good
response
at
the
AP/TS
box
office
and
exceeded
expectations.
One
is
likely
to
get
a
clearer
idea
about
its
performance
once
the
official
figures
are
revealed.
A
Crucial
Release
For
Sam
Last
year,
Samantha
Akkineni
added
a
new
dimension
to
her
career
when
she
starred
in
U
Turn,
her
first
heroine-centric
film.
Sadly,
the
Pawan
Kumar-directed
thriller
did
not
live
up
to
expectations.
While
it
received
decent
reviews,
its
box
office
performance
was
a
bit
lacklustre.
Oh
Baby
might
help
her
get
a
solo
hit
and
prove
that
she
is
a
‘Lady
Superstar' in
the
making.
As
such,
this
is
an
important
release
for
her.
The
WOM
Is
Good
The
general
feeling
is
that
Oh
Baby
is
a
fairly
entertaining
and
fun-filled
affair
that
has
the
potential
to
click
with
the
target
audience.
Sam
has
received
praise
for
her
performance
with
most
critics
saying
that
she
has
done
full
justice
to
her
role.
All
in
all,
the
WOM
is
quite
positive
and
this
might
help
Oh
Baby
in
the
long
run.
The
Road
Ahead...
Being
the
only
major
Tollywood
release
of
the
week,
Oh
Baby
is
likely
to
have
a
free
run
at
the
box
office
over
the
weekend.
As
the
WOM
is
positive,
the
film
should
witness
a
major
growth
in
business
over
the
weekend
and
end
its
opening
week
on
a
solid
note.
