After the Sankranti season, all eyes in Tollywood have now shifted to the summer box office. Summer is traditionally considered a golden period for cinema, especially because schools and colleges remain closed, bringing large crowds to theatres. However, concerns are rising once again about the lack of clear planning for summer releases.
Last Summer’s Disappointment Still Fresh
The previous summer turned out to be a major disappointment for the Telugu film industry. Not a single big-budget film managed to hit theatres during the peak season. At the time, filmmakers faced heavy criticism for poor scheduling and a lack of coordination. Many fear that the same situation could repeat this year as well.
No Clarity on March Releases
March is a crucial month for summer releases, yet there is still no confirmation about which films will arrive in theatres. According to earlier schedules, Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s Peddi and Natural Star Nani’s The Paradise were expected to release with just a one-day gap. However, industry buzz suggests that both films may be postponed.
Hope Rests on Pawan Kalyan’s Film
If these postponements become official, Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited Ustaad Bhagat Singh is rumoured to be eyeing a March 27 release. Still, the makers have not made any formal announcement, leaving fans uncertain.
Other Projects Also Face Uncertainty
Adding to the confusion, the release plans of Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit and Nikhil’s Swayambhu are also said to be doubtful. With multiple films stuck in limbo, there is growing concern that March could pass without a single major theatrical release.
Social Media Reacts Strongly
The possibility of an empty March has triggered widespread discussion on social media. Many movie lovers are urging producers to announce release dates clearly and plan better to avoid wasting a crucial season.
With summer fast approaching, the Telugu film industry now faces a critical test. Clear planning and timely announcements could make all the difference between another missed opportunity and a successful box office season.
