Samantha - Sharwanand starrer Jaanu is off to below par start at the box office despite positive reviews and decent word of mouth.
Jaanu is an official remake of Tamil cult film 96. Dil Raju was blown away with the original and remade it in Telugu under the direction of C. Prem Kumar, who directed the original version.
Jaanu has taken surprisingly low opening in USA despite glowing reviews. It needs to pick up soon as there are some notable films queued up for release in the next couple of weeks.
3 Monkeys and Savaari that were released on Friday opened on a dull note. Last week's release Aswathama had an average first week on a whole.
Sankranthi biggies are still running in a fair number of theaters across Telugu States. Apparently, they will be retained until they complete fifty days run.
World Famous Lover and Bheeshma are lined up for release in the coming weeks.
