Satakarni - Buyers Delighted!

Prime purpose behind any business is to reap enough profits. Cinema trade is nothing different and gains here are more in short term. Obviously, buyers bargain more when a movie is readied for release depending upon factors like crazy combination or release timing. The film betted big on trade terms in this Pongal season is ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ taking into account the craze behind Balakrishna’s milestone 100th achievement.

Whatsoever, buyers paid three to four times bigger prices than regular Balakrishna movies. But, the film is said to have come closer for breakeven in distributor community as makers have released an official note informing the current status from buyers:    

Sai Korrapati (Ceded/Vizag): Ceded territory is a shell tank for Balakrishna. His strong hold in the region made me to bag GPS at fancy prices. The film will breakeven by Sunday and GPS will be into all time top 5 records in this part.

Sudhakar (Krishna/Guntur): I am glad to have distributed the prestigious Balakrishna’s 100th movie made on historical Satavahana subject. Startling response from Krishna and Guntur audience is shattering records. My investment made is safeguarded by this overwhelming public reaction.

Sudhakar Reddy (Nizam): After watching GPS first copy, I’ve forecasted a record run for NBK. Today my words have come true. Financial result is on definite positive side and hopefully excess flows begin from Monday.

Suresh Babu (East): We are moving towards financial overflows. I told producer and my friend Rajiv Reddy to get ready from Monday.

LVR (West): Repeats have started in this region. Balakrishna’s fan frenzy and powerful content is pushing us into gains by today.

Bharat Kumar (Nellore): Never witnessed such huge crowds and exceptional response. Every scene and every dialogue is extolled. Tickets are sold like hotcakes and we are under pressure to increase the screens. Commercially, GPS is first film in Sankranti to have run into profits.

Srujan (Overseas – 9PM): Till date, collections are sustained without any fluctuations. Word of mouth talk and reviews have done a great deal of help. Expecting $2M in the long run and we might bracket into all time top 5 or 6.

In Australia, UK, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore, buyers are already reaping profits from day 2. GPS is also released on public demand in Japan, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Singapore and few more areas which is unusual for a Telugu film to garner special adoration.
