March 21: A Big Day for Small Films in Tollywood

The box office has been in a celebratory mood since a small film Court achieved unexpected success last week. The court drama managed to surpass ₹30 crores despite the absence of big stars. Now

more small-budget films are set to test their luck on March 21.

One of the most anticipated releases is Pelli Kani Prasad starring comedian Saptagiri. The promotional activities for this film have been well received. The makers have planned three premiere shows in Hyderabad today.

Actor Aadi Sai Kumar who has been maintaining a low profile recently is making a comeback with "Shanmukh." This fantasy thriller has undergone limited publicity but the producers are optimistic about its performance.

Another notable release is Tuk Tuk starring Harsh Roshan who gained recognition from the court drama. In addition, a film titled Anaganaga Australia shot entirely abroad is releasing tomorrow. The film is set against a crime backdrop. Alongside this, two other crime-themed films "Artist" and "The Suspect" will also be competing for viewers' attention.

The Hindi-dubbed film "Kiss Kiss Kisik" with its catchy title is creating some buzz. Promotions are in full swing and the makers are hopeful for a positive response in Tollywood.

Also another two notable re-releases are making headlines. "Yevade Subramanyam" which completed ten years since its release is back in theatres. Fans are excited to revisit this beloved classic. Similarly, "Salaar Part 1: Cease Fire" is making a quick return to the big screen within just two years. Its advance bookings have already crossed ₹1 crore, setting a new record for re-releases.

Meanwhile last week’s hit court drama continues to hold its ground, with screens being increased in multiple locations for the second weekend.

So as many films are hitting the screen, the current batch of small films will need exceptional reviews to sustain their run.
