Thimmarajupalli TV and Papam Prathap have slowed down significantly at the box office as weekdays kick in. Both films opened to fairly decent reviews and positive word of mouth in certain sections, but that hasn’t translated into strong theatrical footfalls.
On Monday, occupancy for both films remained below the 50% mark, indicating a clear dip after the weekend. Despite having content that appeals to a niche audience, the lack of star power seems to be affecting their overall reach.
In today’s scenario, even well-reviewed small films need strong buzz or backing to sustain in theatres. With limited visibility and low initial momentum, both films are now facing an uphill task to hold screens in the coming days.
