In recent weeks, films featuring emerging heroes have been making waves at the box office. However, this weekend, three captivating movies intrigued Telugu audiences. Young actors Vishwak Sen in ‘Gangs of Godavari‘, Anand Deverakonda in ‘Gam Gam Ganesha‘, and Kartikeya in ‘Bhaje Vaayu Vegam’ competed for viewers’ attention. Released on Friday, May 31, these films managed to garner positive feedback. Which movie earned the most on its opening day? Which young hero secured the top spot at the box office? Let’s delve into the details in this narrative.

Gangs of Godavari

Vishwak Sen’s latest film ‘Gangs of Godavari’ released on Friday and received a hit talk. Consequently, the film grossed Rs. 8.2 crores worldwide on its opening day, as announced by the production house, which also released a special poster to mark this achievement. This has become one of Vishwak Sen’s highest-grossing opening films, particularly popular among the mass audience. It’s known that the movie exceeded one crore in collections just in Nizam on its first day. It’s expected that ‘Gangs of Godavari’ will continue to perform well at the box office over the weekend.

Vishwak One-Man Show

Directed by Krishna Chaitanya and produced by prominent producer Suryadevara Nagavamshi, ‘Gangs of Godavari’ is a mass action entertainer set against a rural backdrop. In this film, Vishwak Sen, playing the character of Lanka Ratna, has impressed fans with his acting and characterisation. His portrayal of a character with negative shades has been particularly well-received. The chemistry with heroine Neha Shetty is reported to be excellent. The songs and background music have added strength to the film.

Movie Plot

Lankala Ratnam (Vishwak Sen) is an idle young man who cannot tolerate the injustices happening in his village’s politics. He decides to enter politics with the aim of changing the system. Faced with unexpected challenges, how does he overcome them? How does he win over the girl he loves? Does he achieve his political goals? That is the story.

Gam Gam Ganesha

Anand Deverakonda’s ‘Gam Gam Ganesha’, despite earning positive reviews, has lagged behind Vishwak’s movie in collections. The trade circles estimate that the movie grossed around Rs. 80-90 lakhs on its first day and garnered over Rs. 50 lakhs in shares. With the positive mouth publicity, there’s a potential for increased collections over the weekend.

Comedy as Strength

Directed by Uday Bommishetty, ‘Gum Gum Ganesha’ is a crime comedy that draws considerable strength from its humor. The film stars Pragati Srivastava and Nayan Sarika as the leading ladies. Following his successful role in ‘Baby’, Anand Deverakonda showcases his comedic skills in this movie, captivating the audience with the support of comedians Immanuel and Vennela Kishore.

Movie Plot

Ganesh (Anand Deverakonda) commits small thefts with his friend Shankar (Emmanuel). Due to unexpected events, Ganesh finds himself needing to pull off a major heist. However, their plan goes awry, leading to new troubles for Ganesh. Meanwhile, political parties are fiercely competing in the Nandyal by-elections, and a brutal gang shootout occurs in Mumbai. How are these events connected to Ganesh? How do a politician and a gang aiming to steal a statue impact Ganesh’s life? How does he overcome these challenges?

Bhaje Vaayu Vegam

Kartikeya Gummakonda’s ‘Bhaje Vaayu Vegam’ released on Friday to positive reviews but failed to achieve expected box office figures on the first day, grossing less than Rs. 50 lakhs as per trade estimates. There’s potential for improvement in collections in the coming days. Directed by Prashant Reddy, this crime thriller features Aishwarya Menon and Happy Days fame Rahul Tyson in key roles.

After his parents’ untimely death, Venkat (Kartikeya) is left orphaned at a young age. Rajanna (Tanikella Bharani), a close friend of his father, takes him in and raises him alongside his biological son, Raju (Rahul Haridas), with hopes for their bright future.

Fueled by betrayal, Venkat vows to exact revenge on the gang. The story unfolds as Venkat confronts various obstacles in his path of revenge and explores his romantic relationship with Iswarya Menon.
