Till recently even when Hollywood flicks used to release in Telugu dubbed version, they were never compared with big films. But now things have changed after the release of Ronald Emmerich’s ‘2012’. The Telugu version of this film was screened in as many as 35theaters in Hyderabad alone, swept the box office collections and set the trend for other Hollywood flicks to capture the Telugu market in a big manner. In this line comes John Woo’s ‘Red Cliff’ in the dubbed form as ‘Mahasangramam’. This film is going to release with 100 prints in 130 theaters all over AP in Telugu, Hindi and English versions.
‘Mahasangramam’ is based on a Chinese epic ‘Romance of Three Kingdoms’. The kings of three kingdoms will battle to win a queen’s love. The Chinese version of ‘Red Cliff’ was released within Asia in two parts, the first part in June 2008 and the second in January 2009. With an estimated budget of US$ 80 million, ‘Red Cliff’ is the most expensive film in Asia till date and broke the box-office record previously held by ‘Titanic in mainland China’.” So let’s see how it fares at our local box-office.
