The release of the upcoming Telugu movie ‘Lucky Baskhar’ is all set to hit big screens within a few days and the teaser as well as the official trailer has received average to mixed responses.
However, its reception in the Mollywood box office seems to be average despite having its big names involved in the effort. Why is it so?
‘Lucky Baskhar’ is an upcoming Indian Telugu-language drama thriller film written and directed by Venky Atluri. The film is produced by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinema, and Srikara Studios.
The storyline is expected to have a connection with the Indian audience concerning the location and background where the story occurs. It tells the story of an ordinary person who started from scratch thereby becoming a mysterious one. This can ensure the engaging factor for the audience to a closer reference to a real story. But how is it going to affect Mollywood?
Actor Dulquer Salmaan is playing the titular character of the flick, to which he had also played a more similar role as Sudhakara Kurup in a Malayalam movie ‘Kurup’ (2021), directed by Srinath Rajendran that was based on a real-life story of ‘Sukumara Kurup’, who is still a fugitive for an incident in a death insurance scam.
Apart from the challenge of the similar character arc and content repetition, the consecutive box office loss by the actor’s films is a huge challenge despite having higher hype and expectations.
On the contrary, if the performances can satisfy the audiences and fans of the main lead and other cast, then there can be a hope of a satiable box office intake. Also, the technical wing can create an impact to an extent.
The effort will be bankrolled by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinema, and Srikara Studios. Actors Meenakshi Chaudhary, Ayesha Khan, Hyper Aadi, and P. Sai Kumar are expected to play important roles in the film.
The technical labour includes cinematography by Nimish Ravi, editing done by Naveen Nooli, and music composed by G V Prakash Kumar respectively.
Flick is expected to release on the 31st of October and stay tuned for more updates regarding ‘Lucky Baskhar’.
