‘Okka Mogadu’: An unforgettable flop show of Balakrishna

Bala Krishna’s ‘Okka Mogadu’, released during Sankranti, 2008, was an unforgettable failure in his film career. However, YVS chowdhary, the director as well as the producer of the movie, made big bucks by selling this movie at higher price for distributors. It was reported that he produced this movie, with a budget of Rs. 12 crores and sold it to distributors for Rs. 20 crores. It was only local distributors and exhibitors, who suffered the losses.
YVS Chowdhary made very bad name with this movie. If this movie became a block buster, YVS would have become equal to directors like Puri Jagannath, VV Vinayak and MS Rajamouli. Prior to the releaseof the movie, it was believed that the movie will rewrite the record of ‘Narasimha Naidu’, one of the biggest hits in the career of Balakrishna. The movie turned a flop show because the director tried to project Balakrishna as another ‘Bharatheeyudu’.
