Daaku Maharaaj: Can Balakrishna Deliver a sankranthi Blockbuster?
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming action drama, Daaku maharaaj, is set to hit theaters worldwide on January 12, 2025, coinciding with the highly competitive Sankranthi festival. The film’s trailer launch is slated for January 4th during a special event in the USA, preceded by the release of the third single, “Dabidi Dabidi,” on January 2nd.
While the initial teaser generated a positive buzz, daaku Maharaaj seems to be lacking the pre-release hype typical of a Balakrishna film.Despite the impressive track record of composer Thaman, whose score was pivotal to the success of Akhanda, the response to the released songs has been lukewarm.
Producer Naga Vamsi, however, remains optimistic, stating that Thaman’s work on Daaku Maharaaj is “insanely good.” But with competition from other big-ticket releases like Game Changer and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, the film needs to make a strong impact with its trailer and the remaining promotional material to secure a solid opening at the box office.
Adding to the pressure, reports suggest that the pre-release business for Daaku maharaaj in some areas of the Telugu states is nearly on par with that of Devara, indicating high expectations for box office returns. To meet these expectations, Daaku Maharaaj will have to become the highest-grossing film of Balakrishna’s illustrious career.
