In the film industry where big star films dominate, Su from So became a surprise hit in Kannada. The horror comedy gained strong word of mouth in its home state. However, the Telugu dubbed version has failed to repeat that success.
Released in Telugu by Mythri Movie Makersthe film is well-made but has struggled to attract the local audience. While a section of viewers liked it, the overall response has been lukewarm, limiting its impact in theatres.
Weekend bookings on BookMyShow show most screenings running in green mode. Despite appreciation from some, the word of mouth has not spread wide. With audiences spending on War 2 and Coolie, Su from So is drawing little attention.
The box office figures are growing but still modest, far from a breakthrough. Even the weak run of Coolie and War 2, along with the flop Paradha, has not helped Su from So pick up in Telugu states.
Many believe the Telugu audience may prefer to wait for its OTT release in the coming weeks, hoping to catch the film comfortably from home.
