Theatres across the Telugu states are currently going through a dry phase, with the absence of big-ticket releases affecting footfall. Recent small films have failed to hold audiences beyond the opening weekend, leading to multiple show cancellations by the start of the week.
In this scenario, Dacoit offered some relief, and credit goes to Adivi Sesh for picking the right release window. Strong promotions and smart timing helped the film cross the break-even mark.
Just when the momentum from Dacoit began to slow, Prabhas’ yesteryear hit Darling arrived as a much-needed boost for exhibitors. The film has already managed to pull in solid numbers through advance bookings alone, which is impressive given the current market conditions.
Not only fans, but regular moviegoers are also heading to theatres, with several centers witnessing houseful shows. A major driving factor behind Darling’s success is its music by GV Prakash. The songs and background score have struck a chord with audiences, enhancing the overall theatrical experience and contributing to repeat value.
Trade experts expect the film to sustain its run through the weekend. Fans of Prabhas are especially enjoying the film, celebrating his vintage charm, making Darling a timely relief for the struggling box office.
