The summer season following Sankranti is typically a lucrative period for the film industry, largely because schools and colleges are on holiday, increasing the likelihood of families, particularly those with young children and teenagers, seeking entertainment through movies. Consequently, films featuring major stars are often slated for release during this time to capitalize on the increased audience. However, the summer of 2024 marks a departure from this trend, with no blockbuster releases from star heroes on the horizon. Plans for launching films such as ‘Devara’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ during this season fell through. As a result, the industry pins its hopes on the releases of two films led by rising stars. Should these movies resonate with audiences, they have the potential to generate substantial box office revenue. Let’s explore which films are poised to make an impact this summer.
Summer Belongs to These Movies!
The films ‘Tillu Square’ and ‘Family Star‘ are garnering significant interest as the most anticipated releases of the season. ‘Tillu Square‘ features Siddu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran in leading roles and is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 29. Following closely, ‘Family Star’ will make its debut on April 5, starring Vijay Devarakonda and Mrunal Thakur. With a notable absence of other major star-led films this summer, the spotlight is firmly on these two movies.
‘Tillu Square’ and ‘Family Star’ are specifically aimed at captivating the youth audience, particularly during the summer when students are on vacation. Film analysts predict that if these movies perform well upon their release, the box office collections could be impressive. The potential for these films to seize this golden opportunity is a subject of much anticipation. ‘Family Star’ is directed by Parashuram Petla, while Mallik Ram takes the helm for ‘Tillu Square’. The industry awaits to see how these films will fare in this favorable season.
Will the Hit Combo give success?
Before ‘Tillu Square’, the combo of Siddu Jonnalagadda and director Mallik Ram in ‘DJ Tillu’ achieved blockbuster success. Siddu, in particular, won audiences over with his performance and dialogues, charming them with his unique comedy timing. ‘DJ Tillu’ stands as the biggest hit in Siddu’s career. On the other hand, the previous collaboration between director Parasuram Petla and actor Vijay Devarakonda, ‘Geetha Govindam’, was a grand success. The movie, starring Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine, immensely attracted family audiences. Thus, fans are confident that ‘Tillu Square’ and ‘Family Star’ under these super hit combinations will also be successful.
Will Suhas be lucky a third time?
Actor Suhas, who started his career as a comedian and proved himself as a hero, hit a chord with the audience recently with ‘Ambajipeta Marriage Band’. He is now coming with a movie titled ‘Prasanna Vadanam’, directed by Arjun Vaikke, which is set to release in theaters on May 3. The movie stars Payal Radhakrishna and Raashi Singh as heroines. The teaser of this movie has already been released and received a good response from the audience, creating buzz.
