Kushi movie review and release live updates: Kushi marks the first collaboration of Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Telugu film Kushi, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sachin Khedekar, Saranya Ponvannan, and Murali Sharma among others, has hit screens worldwide today. A lot is riding on the Shiva Nirvana directorial as both Vijay and Samantha’s recent films have not fared well. While Vijay was last seen in the box office turkey Liger, Samantha’s Shaakuntalam failed to find many takers.
When asked if Kushi’s performance at the box office will be a deciding factor for Vijay and Samantha, film trade analyst Ramesh Bala, “I don’t think it will affect their career as both have a good body of work. But it is a crucial film indeed after their respective flops.”
Trade analyst Deepak, who is based out of Hyderabad, added, “I don’t think what is an actor’s last film matters anymore. People have changed a lot now. It comes down to the content of the film, the packaging and the overall appeal.”
Vijay Deverakonda recently addressed the poor box office performance of his recent films. Vijay said that every script he chose was ‘terrifc’, but it was the execution of the same which faltered.
The actor told Cinema Express, “I know people won’t accept this statement, but honestly, I believe every script that I’ve chosen was terrific. It was the execution that didn’t go as planned. For instance, an inside joke between friends wouldn’t translate well to others if the delivery and timing weren’t on point. That’s exactly what happened with films like Liger, NOTA, and even Dear Comrade.”
Vijay Deverakonda's fans celebrated Vijay Deverakonda's return to theatres with Kushi with much enthusiasm. In Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, excited fans burst firecrackers to express their joy.
