In the unpredictable world of cinema numerous factors contribute to a films success with casting a superhit star being a major one. However sometimes even the biggest superstars cant guarantee box office triumph. One such similar tale belongs to the brightest name in the industry Mahesh Babu. Even after delivering many successful performances and blockbuster hits there was one film that didnt live up to the expectations of the audience. Brahmotsavam- A massive flop The film that we are talking about is none other than Brahmotsavam. It was released in the year 2016 with the motive of strengthening his clean image; however it didnt resonate with the audience. The film was made on a humongous budget of Rs. 75 crores; however it couldnt even recover its cost and earned only Rs. 65 crores at the box office. This multi-starred film featuring Mahesh Babu Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu had set the expectation very high for the audience; however it failed to deliver the same at the box office. Unmet Expectations The audience found the storyline confusing and overly dramatic. While some couldnt connect with the emotional angle others found it quite slow and boring. The film also struggled critically and received an IMDb rating of 4 out of 10. However despite the disconnect from the story people still praised the performances of Mahesh Babu Samantha and Kajal but even their names and stardom couldnt save the movie from failing at the box office. Director Srikanth Addala also expected this family entertainer to garner love and appreciation from everyone. Unfortunately the execution didn’t match the ambition and the film ended up being labelled as one of the weakest in Mahesh Babu’s career. Brahmotsavam story is a reminder that sometimes even the biggest stars can have setbacks despite their hard-earned name and fame over the years.
