Nandamuri is expected to close the year with a Balakrishna Ruler movie. This is his third release after NTR: Story and NTR: Mahanayakam. Both films turned out to be catastrophic at the box office, causing all the boyish fans to have high hopes for Ruler coming to theaters tomorrow. According to insider reports, the film is expected to cost the pre-release business Rs. 21 crores.

In this way, it now costs Rs. 22 crores are in the safe zone. Considering Balaya’s recent form and his current market value, this seems a daunting task. In addition, it clashes with Sai Dharam Tej’s two other films prathiroju Pandage and Karthi’s Donga. So, we cannot expect higher openings.

This is the off-season and the movie is great for bringing the audience to theaters. In addition, there is a debate that there is nothing new in this film and that it is a regular commercial potboiler. The trailers also did not get a good response from viewers. Balayya’s different wigs have also been trolling on social media. All these factors affect the film and we need to see how that break-even figure can be overcome after its release.
