March 21 Box Office Battle: Low-Budget Films Gear Up for a Tough Fight

March 21 Box Office Battle: Gone are the days when only big budget films and star studded movies dominated the box office. Now if a film has a strong storyline then even small budget productions with fresh faces can achieve massive success.

This trend was evident with the recent hit Court which managed to earn over ₹30 crores without the presence of any big stars. Encouraged by this, several small-budget films are set to test their fate on March 21.

One among them is Pelli Kani Prasad. Comedian Saptagiri is set to entertain audiences with his upcoming film Pelli Kani Prasad. The promotions have been well received and the makers have arranged three premiere shows in Hyderabad. Expectations are running high for the film with its entertainment dose.

Actor Aadi Sai Kumar who has been away from the limelight is making a comeback with the fantasy thriller Shanmukh. Though the film’s publicity has been limited, the producers remain hopeful. The fantasy genre has a loyal fanbase and the movie’s success will depend on audience response.

Harsh Roshan who gained fame with the recent court drama is all set to return with Tuk Tuk. The film’s unique concept and narrative are expected to attract viewers. Additionally Anaganaga Australia which is a crime drama shot entirely overseas will hit the screens tomorrow.

Crime enthusiasts have more to look forward to with films like Artist and The Suspect. Both films offer intense storylines and edge-of-the-seat suspense. Adding a twist to the competition is the Hindi dubbed film Kiss Kiss Kisik. The film has gained considerable attention with its title. The makers are optimistic about its reception in the Telugu market.

In addition to the new releases, two classic films are making a grand return to theatres. Yevade Subramanyam celebrating its 10th anniversary is back on the big screen. Fans are thrilled to relive the film’s heartwarming journey. Meanwhile, Salaar Part 1: Cease Fire is set for a re-release just two years after its initial run. With advance bookings crossing ₹1 crore, the film is already breaking records.

While these films are ready to make their mark, last week’s hit Court is still holding strong. With additional screens allocated for its second weekend, it continues to attract audiences.

For the current batch of small-budget films, positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth will be essential for sustaining their theatrical run. With the right buzz, any of these films could become the next box office surprise.
