Has Dil Raju failed in his judgement. Yes for Cheliyaa he failed miserably. The film is not making money like Ok Bangaram. Raju might have expected that Mani has made a come back and would make money with Cheliya also. But bombed miserably at the box office.<\/p>\n

It is reported that Bandla Ganesh first negotiated with Mani for Cheliyaa but in the end dropped it like a hot potato and then Dil Raju took it. The weaving part of the movie is bad and it is good in parts and pieces.<\/p>\n

Mani Ratnam\u2019s Kaatru Veliyidai had an excellent opening at the Tamil Nadu box office, thanks to the pre-release buzz in the urban centres. But right from the first day, mixed review and general audiences expressed their disappointment about the lack of the usual Mani Ratnam magic.<\/p>\n

\"Bandla<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first three days box office gross in Tamil Nadu is Rs 11 crore, an excellent opening for a Karthi film. But on Monday, Kaatru Veliyidai saw a 70% drop in A centres, which is not a good sign. The film also failed to attract the audience in B and C Centres-the non-Mani Ratnam territory,\u201d said a source in the trade.<\/p>\n

Trade sources from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana say that Cheliyaa, the dubbed version of Kaatru Veliyidai, has been declared as a huge flop. Even the much expected US market didn\u2019t help Kaatru Veliyidai, the film only grossed $ 272k that is Rs 1 crore and a half from the Thursday premiere and regular Friday and Saturday shows.<\/p>\n

\"Bandla<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, after facing heavy criticisms on the contrived scene of the film\u2019s hero Karthi escaping from the Pakistan prison, the makers have released a statement saying that the incident was inspired by Dilip Parulkar\u2019s real-life encounter in 1971.<\/p>\n

But in the film, Mani Ratnam had mentioned the time period as late 90\u2019s and by the time, security forces were well equipped and it\u2019s not a cake walk to cross Pakistan border.<\/p>\n

Any way Bandla proved himself to be smarter than Raju.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
