Most disappointing Tollywood movies in 2016
While 2016 was a great year for Tollywood with small films making it big and big-budget films giving priority to content, some movies killed the buzz of it. And incidentally most of them were also considered the most-awaited in that year. Here’s a round up of the films.
Brahmotsavam
Sardaar Gabbar Singh
This one is the counterpart of Brahmotsavam for the Pawan Kalyan fans. While the first part of this film was a massive hit, this one failed miserably to impress. Not just because of the weak screenplay, direction and script but also because it was an unsatisfactory fix for the Power Star fans.
Run
The remake of the Malayalam hit, Neram, was a disappointment when it hit the Telugu screens. It failed to make the impact that the original had made both in terms of the cast and the execution.
Okka Ammayi Thappa
Another of Sundeep Kishan’s films which gave immense hopes because of its interesting plotline — a ticking time bomb on a jammed flyover — fell flat on screen. All because the makers thought the commercial formula was more important that a plotline.
Oka Manasu
Niharika’s big debut in Tollywood, Oka Manasu was the talk of the town. Aesthetically the film was much-talked about but it didnt fare well at the box office and neither did Niharika’s fans think much about the film.
Thikka
Sai Dharam Tej’s Thikka started off with a bang. What with thoe explosive posters, hit music and intriguing trailer. However when it hit the screens it didn’t work. So much for SDTs hit streak.
Hyper
After Nenu Shailaja, Ram looked like he finally broke out of his typecast role of a hyper young guy who fights, loves and jokes over-enthusiastically. But Hyper brought that back and the audiences didn’t take it well.
ISM
Looking at Kalyan Ram’s makeover everyone thought, ‘Yes! Finally Puri is back!” Although he impressed with Temper earlier, Puri didnt have much to show for himself besides that. And ISM didnt help with its oh-so-beaten down formula.
Nayaki
The supposed comeback of Trisha, who ruled the roost a decade ago made waves with the first look and teaser of the film. But the impact that they had created was no match to what hit the screens later. It was bashed by both fans and critics alike.
Babu Bangaram
When Venkatesh said, “Ayyo ayyo ayyayyoooo” in the trailer of the film, Telugu audiences expected Venkatesh’s best as a comedian — the likes of Bobbili Raja — to show up on screen. And of course his amazing pair up with Nayanathara... what could go wrong! Apparently everything. The film bombed.
