Ghaati Vs Lokah: The Tollywood box office is set for an exciting clash. As Ghaati starring Anushka Shetty releases soon after Lokah hung on for life. Both films boast a strong female-centric narrative, but the big question remains can Ghaati outwit Lokah on collection and audience impact?
Lokah opened the eyes of industry theorists with a brutally frank approach to storytelling and a fitting female-driven plot. The film was not only in the news for its fresh take but also crossed the ₹100 crore mark within days of its release. It has thus proven that, with solid content, performances, and visual appeal, female-fronted narratives do indeed find acceptance among audiences.
All eyes are now upon Ghaati, the long-overdue return to the silver screen by Anushka Shetty. Anushka has carved a niche over fierce roles from Bhaagamathie and Arundhati. Now be seen as the leading lady who shoulders high-stake narratives. Blending across mythology, mystery, and action, Ghaati will be billed next as her big blockbuster.
If anything, Ghaati was buzzing pre-launch, carrying with it all sorts of star power courtesy of Anushka and a different script altogether. But then comes the hammer of Lokah’s success. It will take a truly pioneering cinematic creation to earn critical acclaim and perhaps get a nod of approval from Ghaati.
This box-office battle is more about representation than anything else. Female-centric films are no longer niche experiments but mainstream successes. Whether Ghaati beats Lokah is just an extra appeal unto the fact that actresses are being seen now to earn just as much as their male counterparts.
