Brindavanam Reviews Go Positive, Fans Celebrate


Tollywood Box Office had gone dumb from quite a long time without a big hit. Much was expected from the big films that were released recently. But, they had failed to revive it. Moreover, the storm created by Rajinikanth, Aiswarya starrer ‘Robot’ appeared to be very difficult to control.

But, ‘Brindavanam’ released today, had changed the conditions. Tollywood Box Office started ringing from this morning. With the film getting good response, especially from family audience, collections are expected to go much higher.

The first romantic family entertainer from the mass hero is being received well by the audience. Junior NTR, at the film’s audio release said “Seeing the freshness in it, I had tried the character…. it’s your duty to make it a hit.”  And now, NTR fans have done their job and made the film a big hit.

NTR’s onscreen presence and acting are highly appreciated. With no negative talk from any corner of Tollywood, the film has been unanimously declared a big hit.

Junior NTR aspired to do a lover boy and a family entertainer from quite a long time. But his ‘mass hero’ image prevented him from doing so. Moreover, there was a big suspicion whether audience, especially fans would accept him in such a role or not. But, Brindavanam erased all these. The film is a perfect family entertainer with both mass and class elements. Nandamuri fans, audience and critics are highly appreciating the role - ‘Kirsh’ played by Junior NTR in the film. With Brindavanam, the mass hero is now said to have come close to class audience.

Tamil version of this film, Endhiran has reportedly collected Rs. 35 crore nett in its first week, that too only in Tamilnadu. As per the trade reports, Hindi version, The Robot which started off slowly is picking up and is likely to get back the investment in a week or two.
