The Telugu distributors of ‘Kabali’ are a worried lot. The movie generated tremendous hype when the first teaser came out and the Telugu rights of the film were sold for a whopping price of almost 28 Crores. But now, distributors are wondering if they made a safe bet.
The film’s buzz nosedived after the Telugu audio was launched a few days ago. The Telugu lyrics are atrocious and they have not gelled well with the songs. The negative feedback for the Telugu version has been pretty unanimous on social media. It is evident that very little attention was paid to the Telugu lyrics by the movie team.
This has now raised doubts about the quality of dubbing for the Telugu version. Will the film end up as another Lingaa? Let us hope not.
