Yesterday, on the auspicious occasion of Mahesh Babu’s birthday, his old classic, Murari, was re-released in theatres. As expected, his fans lapped it up with open arms, and the response that was recorded was phenomenal. The film has performed brilliantly at the box office, not just in the Telugu states but also in selected overseas centers. Now, again, on day 2, it is aiming to score high!
About Murari
Initially, everyone was surprised, and there were mixed reactions to the announcement of its re-release. As it’s not a regular commercial potboiler of the superstar, fans thought that it wouldn’t be a good fit for an occasion like the birthday of their beloved star. For those who don’t know, the film is a supernatural drama helmed by Krishna Vamsi.
Apart from Mahesh Babu, Murari features Sonali Bendre, Lakshmi, and others in key roles. It was released in theatres on February 17, 2001. Upon its release, the film received mostly positive reviews from critics, and it was a huge success at the box office. In 2015, it was also dubbed in Hindi as Rowdy Cheetah.
