Ravi Teja’s first ever Pan Indian film, “Tiger Nageswar Rao,” faced challenges that contributed to its lackluster performance. Released on October 20th, the film encountered mixed reviews and disappointing box office collections.
The primary culprits for its failure were its lengthy runtime and unfortunate release date. The film’s runtime, exceeding three hours, weighed it down despite having good content and action sequences.
Ravi Teja is known for attracting audiences with his charismatic performances, but the extended duration deterred viewers. Adding to the woes was the competition. Two other movies hit the screens simultaneously, leaving “Tiger Nageswar Rao” as the last choice for moviegoers.
If the film had opted for a solo release, it might have enjoyed a stronger opening and a better weekend. However, the fierce competition, including films like “Bhagavanth Kesari,” overshadowed TNR, leading to significant losses for the movie. In the end, a combination of runtime and release date issues hampered what could have been a successful venture.
