March

March witnessed only 2% hit rate with the release of around 20 films. Those two films are low budget films and had no star value which once again proved that content matters rather than big banners, huge budgets and top stars.

\r\nPeople not fascinated with extensive VFX usage. Of late, with the pan India craze, the makers are spending whopping amounts on CGI and VFX. But not all the time, people are getting fascinated with the usage of VFX.\r\nWhen Prabhas film Adipurush hit the screens and even before its release after watching the teaser and trailer, people started trolling the substandard VFX in the film. This is because while Adipurush was made with huge budget, Prashanth Varma\'s HanuMan which was made with low budget had superior VFX and graphics.\r\nNow people started trolling the VFX of Hombale Films Mahavatar Narasimha graphics. Everyone knows how people trolled the VFX quality in Manchu Vishnu\'s Kannappa. Even Chiranjeevi\'s Vishwambhara VFX was trolled mercilessly when the teaser was released.\r\nThis proves once again that no amount of expansive budgets and extensive usage of VFX will save the film if the quality and content is not on par.\r\n
