Disastrous Weekend for Telugu Cinema

Naga Shaurya's Bad Boy Karthik, Thiruveer's Papam Prathap, and Kiran Abbavaram's Thimmarajupalli TV were released on Friday. The films received a mixed response from the audience, with Papam Prathap performing slightly better. The films were made on a strict budget and recovered their investments through digital deals, with theatrical revenue being a bonus. Bad Boy Karthik was made on a big-budget and has yet to close non-theatrical deals.
