Nani’s recent release, “Hi Nanna,” received positive reviews upon its debut on December 7th but faced a lukewarm response in theatres across Andhra Pradesh. Although it managed to secure some earnings primarily from international screenings on its first day, the film witnessed scattered audience presence in AP theatres. The Nizam region exhibited a moderate performance on Day 1, highlighting the necessity for a robust performance during the upcoming weekend.
However, Day 2 brought a positive turn for “Hi Nanna” as advance bookings surpassed the first-day figures of Nithiin’s “Extraordinary Man.” Notably, in key cities such as Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Vijayawada, and Vizag, “Hi Nanna” showed a significant surge in bookings compared to “Extraordinary Man.”
Meanwhile, “Extraordinary Man” faced disappointing numbers in advance bookings, calling for a much-needed boost through positive word-of-mouth promotion. The film stars Sreeleela, Rajasekhar, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini, directed by Vakkantham Vamsi.
The contrast in the booking trends between these two films signifies a potential shift in audience preferences, favoring “Hi Nanna” over “Extraordinary Man.” This development might dictate the course of their respective performances at the box office in the coming days.
“Hi Nanna” seems to have gained traction after a slow start, potentially indicating a promising weekend ahead. In contrast, “Extraordinary Man” faces an uphill battle to gain momentum and garner audience attention amidst its poor booking figures.
As the weekend approaches, the performance of these films will be closely watched to gauge their success and impact on the current Tollywood landscape.
