Meet superstar who is now doing Rs. 1000 crore film, but once delivered a superflop, couldn’t even recover its budget, the actor is.., the film was…
In the unpredictable world of cinema, numerous factors contribute to a film’s success, with casting a superhit star being a major one. However, sometimes even the biggest superstars can’t guarantee box office triumph. One such similar tale belongs to the brightest name in the industry, Mahesh Babu. Even after delivering many successful performances and blockbuster hits, there was one film that didn’t live up to the expectations of the audience.
Brahmotsavam- A massive flop
The film that we are talking about is none other than Brahmotsavam. It was released in the year 2016 with the motive of strengthening his clean image; however, it didn’t resonate with the audience. The film was made on a humongous budget of Rs. 75 crores; however, it couldn’t even recover its cost and earned only Rs. 65 crores at the box office. This multi-starred film featuring Mahesh Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu had set the expectation very high for the audience; however, it failed to deliver the same at the box office.
Unmet Expectations
The audience found the storyline confusing and overly dramatic. While some couldn’t connect with the emotional angle, others found it quite slow and boring.
The film also struggled critically and received an IMDb rating of 4 out of 10. However, despite the disconnect from the story, people still praised the performances of Mahesh Babu, Samantha, and Kajal, but even their names and stardom couldn’t save the movie from failing at the box office.
Director Srikanth Addala also expected this family entertainer to garner love and appreciation from everyone. Unfortunately, the execution didn’t match the ambition, and the film ended up being labelled as one of the weakest in Mahesh Babu’s career.
Brahmotsavam story is a reminder that sometimes even the biggest stars can have setbacks despite their hard-earned name and fame over the years.
