Writer-director
Ajay
Bhupathi
and
Payal
Rajput
came
together
for
yet
another
bold
story
to
be
told
on
the
big
screen
in
the
form
of
Mangalavaaram.
The
movie
hit
the
screens
amid
great
buzz
on
November
17
and
met
with
largely
positive
reviews
from
the
film
buffs
and
critics.
However,
there
are
also
complaints
about
the
film's
screenplay
and
narrative
pace,
which
made
it
a
long
watch
until
the
end
only
for
the
second
half
to
unfold
quickly.
Mangalavaaram
Premise
In
a
village,
fear
engulfs
the
residents
who
are
petrified
after
the
mysterious
murders
that
take
place
every
Tuesday.
A
young
woman
Shailu
becomes
the
centre
of
the
issue.
What
happens
next?
Who
is
behind
the
murders?
What
is
the
mystery
around
Mangalavaaram?
forms
the
crux.
Mangalavaram
Box
Office
Mangalavaaram
started
at
the
box
office
on
a
positive
note.
The
lack
of
competition
for
this
Telugu
release
became
an
advantage,
coupled
with
the
craze
the
film
has
managed
to
garner
before
and
after
its
theatrical
release.
Mangalavaram
earned
Rs
2.5
Crore
from
India
on
the
release
day
and
it
has
been
doing
steadily
well.
But
after
the
first
weekend
at
the
box
office,
the
movie
started
to
see
a
drop
in
figures
despite
running
continuously
for
about
two
weeks.
