It was anticipated that having a telugu director and producer as well as Vijay's celebrity would be a plus, however the variables didn't work and the underwhelming statistics are unexpected. varasudu was perceived by telugu speakers as an old story that has been told many times in telugu films. The plot is stale, and Vijay was mostly responsible for making the proceedings entertaining. Despite a few good songs, telugu audiences were not drawn to the movie.
Most of the telugu fans feel this failure of Vaarasudu is a Tight Slap on dil Raju's face for talking too much and also ruining telugu movies and they are happy due to these poor numbers.
