There were about 22 movies released in february of this year, although none of them were particularly successful. The month wasn't a total failure, though; there were little glimmers of success.
The malayalam version "Buttabomma" and sandeep Kishan's "Michael," both of which were released the same week, were subject to high expectations. Buttabomma and "Michael" both fell short of expectations, and both received negative press on the first day itself.
The third week saw the release of the highly anticipated film "Sir." Although it at first received unfavourable reviews, Dhanush's first telugu movie as a hero exceeded expectations. The movie soon bounced back, and in nine days it had earned 75 crore rupees, making it a global hit.
