Despite an extensive promotion of Puri Jagannadh’s Liger, the Vijay Deverakonda-starrer failed to bring the audience to theatres. Starting with a decent first week, Liger tanked completely in the second. The film has been criticised for several reasons, including lousy screenplay, over-the-top moments, Ananya Pandey’s overacting, outlandish elements, and an old story in a new bottle.
Reports indicate that over 90 percent of the shows down south have been cancelled because of the disastrous dip in footfall. Liger’s dip in the Hindi belt is in line with Ranveer Singh’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey. Reports suggested that negative reviews of Liger have disheartened Vijay fans as well. But it seems Vijay has pulled up his socks and is now gearing up for Kushi.
