After aggressive promotions by the team, Naga Chaitanya’s action thriller Custody hit the theatres yesterday. The movie received severe backlash from the audience.
While some opined that few action scenes were shot well, the overall execution has been failed leading to the disappointment of the audience. Venkat Prabhu, who is known for his thrilling action movies didn’t handle this movie well.
With the effort the team has put in promotions, everyone thought that this movie would hit the bull’s eye but things went different. The movie managed to collect only 2 crore in the day 1 in Telugu states and might be around 2.5 crore worldwide which is disastrous. The second day is seeing a huge drop with the negative feedback spread like wildfire and might be even worser in the coming days.
The film, which released with a breakeven target of 21 crore seems to be very far from it and looks highly impossible.
With star studded cast including Arvind Swami, Sarath Kumar, Krithi Shetty, Priyamani, Premji, Vennela Kishore, Sampath Raj, Ramki and Music by Ilayaraja-Yuvan Shankar raja combo, this numbers are disastrous.
Looks like the Akkinenis and their fans need to wait some more time to show their impact on audience with their movies.
