Magadheera
was released on July 31st, 2009. Almost three years passed by and it's
all time record is still untouchable. It has collected over 70 crore
rupees in Telugu alone. There is no other film that came close to this
figure in these three years. Dookudu collected around 55 crore rupees in
full run, but couldn't beat Magadheera's record.
Until
last year there were attempts to recreate Magadheera (Shakti and
Badrinath), but it looks like the heroes and directors have given up the
idea of breaking Magadheera's record. Right now the focus of every big
film is on breaking the first week record by releasing the movie in
highest possible number of theaters.
Businessman
and Racha did 40+ crore rupees business and now Dammu too is aiming for
that mark. All these are mass films that have a certain limit and
reach. Magadheera had that wow factor that helped it to go those extra
miles. Until or unless some star studded film with wonderful content
coupled with that wow factor arrives, Magadheera will remain a distant
dream.
