For a film which is made on a shoestring budget with underrated stars and debut director, touching one Million mark in overseas is not an easy task. But, Tollywood’s latest sleeper hit Pelli Choopulu made it look very simple. The content driven film, which took off on a slow note in overseas, rapidly increased its tempo with the glowing word of mouth and unanimous web reviews and attracted huge crowds in the second and third weeks.
By today, Pelli Choopulu has officially crossed the one Million mark in overseas. Considering the fact that the film was bought for just $ 20K, entering the million dollar club should be considered as history because many popular heroes down South are yet to cross the mark. Starring Vijay Devarakonda and Ritu Varma, Pelli Choopulu was directed by Tharun Bhascker and produced by Raj Kandukuri.
The simple yet beautiful narration coupled with the commendable performances by the entire cast have been the selling points for this romantic entertainer. Pelli Choopulu received plaudits from all avenues and the producer has already been flooded with solid offers from other film industries for the remake rights.
The film has so far notched up 7.5 Crores in both the Telugu states and the worldwide share is nearing the 12 Crore mark. In terms of Return on Investment, Pelli Choopulu will remain as the biggest hit in South India.
