Weekend Box-office: Poor show from New Films
After a disastrous last week, Tollywood had good hopes on September 23-25th weekend. Young actors Naga Shaurya, Sree Vishnu and Sri Simha Koduri tested their luck with Krishna Vrinda Vihari, Alluri and Dongallunnaru Jagratha. All the three films received a poor response from the audience and they opened on a low note. Alluri and Dongallunnaru Jagratha will end up as massive disasters and these films will struggle to recover the digital expenses. Krishna Vrinda Vihari witnessed an upward trend on Saturday and Sunday but these numbers are not enough to recover the investments.
Tollywood had one more disastrous weekend at the box-office. Hollywood film Avatar had a re-release and the film performed well across the multiplexes. Balakrishna’s yesteryear film Chennakesava Reddy performed extremely well in USA and the film did decent across the Telugu states with limited shows. The past releases Brahmastra and Oke Oka Jeevitham remained low over the September 23rd weekend. The audience are now waiting for the next weekend and all the new releases Krishna Vrinda Vihari, Alluri and Dongallunnaru Jagratha will struggle to stay decent on the weekdays.
Krishna Vrinda Vihari Movie Review
Krishna Vrinda Vihari Movie Review
Telugu360 Rating 2.5/5
Story:
Krishna chari(Naga Shaurya) works as a technical trainer in a Hyderabad based IT company. He falls in love with manager Vrinda(Shirley)who is a north Indian girl. Krishna lies to his parents about shirley’s peculiar medical problem and marries her. Krishna’s mother dislikes Vrinda for being social with colleagues. Rest of the film deals with typical issues of Vrinda with her in-laws.
Analysis:
Young director Anish Krishna ‘s lighter vein approach is visible right from the word Go. The setup of IT office, Hero’s backdrop and supporting cast all are aimed at spreading fun. First half output is mediocre at the best, second half is relatively better loaded with fun scenes. Towards the climax the narration falls flat but overall, Krishna Vrinda Vihari is not a bad film. The contemporary narration, relatively fresh story line, and good casting make this film a one time watch for regular frequent movie goers.
Typical orthodox family disputes between the hero’s mother and her daughter -in-law etc. elements are passable fun. Senior actress Radhika Sarat kumar fits the mother role well. The new heroine Shirley is adequate enough for the role. Naga shaurya as usual looks glamorous with classy costumes. Three songs are a decent watch on the screen. ‘ Emundira ‘, ‘You are my dream ’ , ‘ Vennellovarsham la ‘ songs are cool. Music director Mahati Swara Sagar delivers decent songs, if not great.
Casting in this film is an advantage. Shauryaand new girl shirley fit their roles well. IRA creations productions values are good.
Positives:
- A clean Family entertainer
- Some Freshness in the direction
- Comedy script
Negatives:
- First half is flat
- Climax is routine
Verdict :
‘Krishna VrindaVihari’ offers relatively fresh story with contemporary narration. It’s an average clean family entertainer which also can be tried by youngsters.

Triangular fight at the Tollywood Box-office
After a dull weekend, all the new releases fell flat. Three films Krishna Vrinda Vihari, Alluri and Dongalunnaru Jagratha are hitting the screens this Friday. The makers of Krishna Vrinda Vihari and Alluri are promoting the film aggressively. The promotions are quite low for Dongalunnaru Jagratha. Krishna Vrinda Vihari has Naga Shaurya in the lead role and the film is a romantic entertainer. Alluri is an action-packed entertainer that has Sree Vishnu playing the role of a cop. Dongalunnaru Jagratha is a thriller and is a Korean remake that has Sri Simha in the lead role.
All these three films are carrying decent expectations and are of different genres. All these three films will have a decent release across the Telugu states. Naga Shaurya and Sree Vishnu are waiting for success and these films are crucial for the actors. Keeravani’s son too will have to make his impact with Dongalunnaru Jagratha.
Naga Shaurya’s Krishna Vrinda Vihari Trailer is Hilarious
Naga Shaurya’s home production Krishna Vrinda Vihari is delayed several times and it is finally hitting the screens on September 23rd. The trailer of Krishna Vrinda Vihari is out now and it is hilariously packed. The trailer hints that the film is well balanced with entertainment, romance and family drama. The trailer looks colorful and Shirley Setia is the leading lady. Naga Shaurya plays a youngster who comes from an orthodox family and moves to the city on his professional front.
The cinematography work and the background score are the other assets. Radhika, Brahmaji, Vennela Kishore and Rahul Ramakrishna played other important roles. The production values look grand. On the whole, the trailer of Krishna Vrinda Vihari looks promising with fresh and entertaining content. IRA Creations produced Krishna Vrinda Vihari and Mahati Swara Sagar composed the music. Naga Shaurya has high hopes on the film and he is preparing for a grand set of promotions.
Love, Fun, Emotions & the Entertainment🤘🏻🤩

September releases struggling for Buzz
Liger is the next Tollywood film for which the audience are eagerly waiting for. The film is releasing tomorrow and a successful August comes to an end with Liger for Tollywood. A heap of small and medium budget films are testing their luck in September and the release dates are announced. Unfortunately, none of the films are carrying decent buzz and they are in struggling mode.
Vaisshnav Tej’s Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga is releasing on September 2nd. The trailer was out recently but it fell short of the expectations. Jathi Ratnalu director Anudeep is presenting a small film First Day First Show and the film too is carrying low expectations. Satyadev and Tamannaah starrer Gurthunda Seethakalam is releasing on September 9th. Most of the audience are not aware about the film and its release. Kiran Abbavaram’s Nenu Meeku Baga Kavalsinavadini too is releasing on the same date and the makers are promoting the film.
Sharwanand who is struggling for success will test his luck with Oke Oka Jeevitham. The film sounds to be an emotional entertainer and the audience are not much interested about the film. None of the promotional content was impressive. Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra is also releasing on September 9th. Vishal will test his luck with Laththi and the film releases on September 15th. Sudheer Babu and Krithi Shetty starrer Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali is releasing on September 16th. Regina and Nivetha Thomas starrer Saakini Daakini
will be in theatres on 16th.
Sree Vishnu’s Alluri will release on September 23rd. Naga Shaurya’s long-delayed own film Krishna Vrinda Vihari too will release on 23rd. Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: Part-1 will release on September 30th. For now, none of the films are carrying terrific buzz and are kept in the watchlist of the audience among the September releases. We have to wait to see if they will change with the trailer of the films and the promotional content.
Tough Times for Small Films in Theatres
RRR and KGF: Chapter 2 ended up as massive hits across the country and the audience watched the visual spectacles in theatres. Small films that released in the recent times did not fare well though the talk was impressive. Most of the audience are not ready to watch the films without stars in theatres. Vishwak Sen’s Ashoka Vanam Lo Arjuna Kalyanam received decent response but the film could not hold well on weekdays after a decent weekend run. Naga Shaurya’s Krishna Vrinda Vihari has been postponed twice after the release date has been announced. The distributors and exhibitors are not ready to buy small and medium-budget films for now considering the interest of the audience.
Rajasekhar’s Shekar is releasing next Friday and the makers are releasing the film on their own as they have no great theatrical deals. The filmmakers of small-budget films are left puzzled about when to release their films. June, July and August are packed with medium-budget films of tire two heroes. Several small films will find it tough to hit the screens in the coming months. By July or August, there would be a new bunch of medium-budget films getting ready. 2022 will have a tough time for small-budget films in theatres.
Naga Shaurya’s Krishna Vrinda Vihari New Release Date
Hero Naga Shaurya’s Krishna Vrinda Vihari would have released this week on April 22nd. However, the makers have pushed it by almost a month.

Krishna Vrinda Vihari’s Romantic Announcement
Krishna Vrinda Vihari will present Naga Shaurya in a never seen before getup as a Brahmin guy and the posters have garnered interest on the movie being directed by Anish Krishna. Usha Mulpuri of Ira Creations is bankrolling the project.
The makers opted for a romantic way to make announcement on teaser date of the movie. KVV’s teaser will be launched on March 28th. The poster shows Shaurya and his love interest in the film Shirley Setia in romantic moment.
Tipped to be a rom-com, Krishna Vrinda Vihari is scheduled for its release on April 22nd. The film has music by Mahati Swara Sagar and musical promotions will also begin soon.
Krishna Vrinda Vihari Coming On April 22

First Look: Shaurya Charms As Krishna Vrinda Vihari
Promising young hero Naga Shaurya has been doing films at jet speed, though he is opting for distinctive scripts. His latest film being directed by Anish R Krishna and produced by Ira Creations gets an interesting title. The makers have also revealed first look of this movie, on the occasion of Shaurya’s birthday.
Krishna Vrinda Vihari is the title locked for the movie and the first look presents Naga Shaurya in a different getup. With Niluvu Namam and sacred threads, Shaurya looks effortlessly like a Brahmin in the poster. What really grabs our attention is his delightful smile. While the title is very pleasant as it reveals the names of Shaurya and Shirley Setia as Krishna and Vrinda respectively, the poster is equally impressive.
Veteran actress Radhika will be seen in an important role. Mahati Swara Sagar renders soundtracks for the movie which is done with its shoot, except for a song.
